This should do the business.

I just done a speedtest and even speeds on the tests are slow, just done one with the ethernet and its full speed.

One thing you could try is limiting your router to 802.11g. This is a slower connection than 802.11n but can be more reliable and give higher throughput. You might have to change your wireless adapter settings as well.

Belay that. You are getting good throughput on your front-panel USB ports.

I have just checked the channel and no other routers are on the same channel as mine, so cant be that, i will try your idea.

This is a strange one though as on my other motherboard i had, an old one too, it was fine, so it cant really be the dongle i am using can it?.

Have you looked for any others with the same motherboard and USB issues?

Wireless USB dongles can show up weaknesses in a USB port - does file copies to and from a USB key go fast and smoothly?

This is the motherboard, i have not tried that yet as i cant find my USB file storage device.

Does it let you turn off the USB 3 support in the bios? Worth a try

Could that be causing the problems, i thought that would help it?.

In that case, no. The problem looks like a dodgy USB port or out-of-date firmware/drivers. I think you need to make sure that all the firmware and drivers for your motherboard are up-to-date.

Edit: Of course, it could just be the positioning of the wireless dongle. Have you tried moving the PC around?
