Netgear USB Issue

[RyanHelpPlease]

Hey guys,

Earlier today my computer just stopped recognising my network adapter. Luckily, I've got a built-in one but it isn't any good because I only get about 25% of the actual speed I'm meant to. I've tried the following to fix it:

■ Restarting
■ Unplugging the power cable for 5 mins
■ Reinstalling it with device manager
■ Reinstalling using the disc
■Using a different USB port
■Replacing the adapter

My computer is the Packard Bell iXtreme M5850. Can anyone help me try to fix this?

Might be worth noting that my peripherals all work in whichever slot I put them in. It seems that only the Netgear product seems to have stopped working. It is the Netgear WNA3100.

Adapter is dead in my opinion because all other devices are working fine.

Just tested on a second computer and it works perfectly.

Good to hear , strange that it won't run on the other.

Any idea on how I can go about fixing it? Maybe it's a driver that I haven't reinstalled properly or, more likely, a hardware issue?
