Ok so I have been trying to fix this issue over several days with no luck and I'm getting fed up. Please Help!
I have a new D-Link DWA 171 USB Wireless Adapter that works fine in other computers but the speed is extremely slow and erratic on my Dell Precision T3500 Workstation, which is where i need it. I have tried plugging it into all of the 9 integrated USB ports, including the internal one on the motherboard with no effect. I've also tried disabling various hubs through the bios with the same results.
The ports appear to be providing sufficient current to the adapter at 500mA based on the information I've gathered through the device manager.
However when I check the USB bandwidth usage in the device manager it says 1% and 20% is system reserved but I don't understand exactly what this implies or if it's even relevant.
Also, I recall my previous USB wireless adapter behaving similarly and I just thought it was on the fritz so I replaced it with this one.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks
