hi, i've noticed for a while now that i keep receiving a message from windows (vista 64) that 'your device could work faster if you attached it to a Hi-speed USB 2.0 port'.

The device in question being my usb wireless adaptor. Now i haven't worried about it too much as i still get 18-20mb d/l speeds, but i am considering purchasing a wireless N router and adapter for media streaming and am a little concerned that if i don't get this sorted it could have a negative impact on performance. i'm pretty sure the usb should be 2.0 as it's a newish mobo and the ports in question are connected directly to it rather than front of the case (not wired them up).

I don't know a huge deal about technical issues but my mobo is an asus p5ne32-sli and device manager says:

Universal serial Bus controllers
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
USB Root Hub
USB Root Hub

drivers for the enhanced are (enhanced is 2.0 i believe)...
6.0.6001.18000


which driver update tells me is up to date. apparently it's using 20% of bandwith.

not sure what else you need to know. i can run sisoft if that would help? any tips?
 
Did you get anywhere with this as I had the same message when plugging in a 4 way Belkin USB hub into my GA-P35-DQ6. I had a look around & reinserted my Mobo disc which says drivers are 2.0, Tried Windows update like you, Gave up in the end thinking it's a fake message, What do You reckon ?
