Well, you'll have to upgrade to a gigabit ethernet card to be able to get anything approaching 240Mb.
They're not expensive, just make sure you find out whether you need a PCI or PCIe one.

You should be getting a bit more than 30Mb if you're the only one connected to the router anyway,
but I'd expect you'll see a huge improvement if you replace the card.
