Are there othere devices (like a USB harddrive) stealing USB bandwidth?
If it is only USB 1.1 you only have 12mb/s of bandwidth to hsare with
all the devices on that root hub. If you have other USB devices, try
unplugging them and retest. If that solves your problem you want to
stay away from USB wireless adapters.
