I'm looking for a PCIe card that includes Ethernet and Bluetooth without relying on Wi-Fi. I need something with higher data rates and I also want Bluetooth for my headphones. Is such a card available?

Wi-Fi and BT are frequently paired on cards because they utilize shared hardware, offering cost advantages. BT and Ethernet don’t share any similarities, making it unnecessary to combine them on the same card. Ethernet card and USB BT adapter.

I’d suggest a USB BT dongle only when you have an unobstructed view from the USB port. Using a WiFi card with an antenna (not attached to the PC) usually provides more stable connections and longer range. For quicker Ethernet speeds, we need more details—just getting a faster card won’t help if it matches the router’s capabilities. Your motherboard likely lacks Gigabit Ethernet, which probably explains the slower performance.
