Is it drastically slower than Ethernet?

Nope, not at all.

EDIT: As I had to go look it up, USB2 can handle 480Mbps, I doubt your internet is going to fill that

Oh good. Some of you may know im having internet problems.

Basically, i uninstalled my wireless adaptor, now i cant find the CD to reinstall it, and the drivers ive tried from Belkin's support just dont work.

Thankfully, my Router comes with a USB connection, so i may give that a go, and wire directly into the router.

And this would be faster/more stable than Wireless, No?

The issue of Ethernet vs USB was more of an issue with older PCs that only had USB 1.

This was partly due to bandwith if you had lots of devices, but also also you were much more likley to get small lag spikes in game due to reources contention.

Yeh i had doubts about USB, i seem to remember someone saying it was slower than Ethernet. But it's USB2, so no worrys.
