| 551331 | 2007-05-20 09:41:00 | Hmmm, thanks guy's, I think I'm getting the picture? I've got an old Compaq Presario 2500 here which seems to have a spare pcmcia slot and USB port so which one is the best for Wi-Fi or doesn't it matter? I think it's got Blue Tooth on board but that's a different frequency isn't it? So many questions. |

| 551332 | 2007-05-20 09:53:00 | Depends if the USB is 1.1 or 2. If 1.1 PCMCIA is most probably better. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 551333 | 2007-05-20 10:04:00 | Depends if the USB is 1.1 or 2. If 1.1 PCMCIA is most probably better. Is there a way to tell what a port is speedy? (i.e 1.1 or 2) |

| 551334 | 2007-05-20 10:09:00 | Is there a way to tell what a port is speedy? (i.e 1.1 or 2) Go to device manager / USB controllers. See if theres an enhanced host controller entry under this entry.. If this is there, its most probably USB 2. |

| 551335 | 2007-05-20 10:29:00 | Go to device manager / USB controllers. See if theres an enhanced host controller entry under this entry.. If this is there, its most probably USB 2. Got the following Speedy: I’ve got a USB Composite Device 3 USB Root Hubs 2 VIA REV 5 or later USB Host Controllers 1 VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller As there are only three connection sockets, two on the back and one on the side I guess the one on the side might be the USB 2.0 one? |

| 551336 | 2007-05-20 10:34:00 | The enhanced entry might be USB 2. Plug something thats USB 2 into it. See what happens. And see if a message like this device can run faster ... appears. Then it maybe USB 1.1 |

| 551337 | 2007-05-20 12:15:00 | USB 2.0 Full Speed = 12MB USB 2.0 High Speed = 480MB |

| 551338 | 2007-05-20 13:12:00 | The above rates are Mbits/sec, not MBytes/sec. The 12Mbits/sec option is fullspeed USB 1.0/1.1, not USB 2.0. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 551339 | 2007-05-21 00:51:00 | Well I’ve plugged a USB2 Pendrive into all the USB Ports without getting any messages about the Device could work faster . :rolleyes: So, I tried Belac Advisor and it told me exactly what Device Manager told me . But, Everest tells me I have two USB 1 . 1 Ports and One USB2 Port . :thumbs: I’d only be guessing but I suspect the one on its own on the side of the machine would be the USB2 . That being the case, I’ll buy a Wi-Fi USB2 Dongle and see what happens . Thanks everyone for your help . :thumbs: |
