You are confused.
Most router are 100Mbps only, so max you get on wire is 100 on 'local connection speed', your broadband speed is different, so if you are getting 20 from Virgin (You be lucky), then thats how fast you can download, regardless if you are on wore or wireless.

Do a speedtest on www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net)
If you are getting around 20Mb for your internet, then do nothing, you have all already.
