USB1? How do you find out?

I have no idea, but you live in the same city as me.

Seriously though I really have no idea.

go to device manager and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, if any of them contain "Enhanced" it's USB2 if not USB1

[N!ck]

Even if it's USB1 i reckon it would still report the speed as whatever the connection between the card and the router is, as it would just be the interface between the card and computer running at 12Mbps. However it seems to not be a USB card anyway...

From Googleing the router i don't somehow think that is where the problem lies unless the router has been manually set at 18Mbps. Can you give any information about the wireless adapter in the PC?

I don't think it is the wireless adapter because when i was on BT the speeds seemed fine & that was connected to the bt home hub. Is there any commands i can run in command prompt or anything to see information on the adapter?

Edit: Just looked under "network adapters" in device manager and it says "Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter"

Are they important? I only have one thing constantly plugged into a USB port o.O!

[DaveTaylor]

Sorry don't quite get what you mean are they important? lol

The "USB Root Hub" lol, what are they for?

[GommeInc]

I think they're each, individual USB port. And a Generic USB Hub (which you don't have) is a USB Hub which connects to one USB port, but acts like multiple USB ports, like a Belkin USB Hub.
