SORRY GUYS, SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE WRONG WITH MY OTHER TOPIC AND IT IS NOT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY. PLEASE REMOVE IF POSSIBLE.
I just got a really small usb wlan adaptor off ebay for my 64bit version of windows, because my old adapter doesn't work on 64bit.
The seller told me it runs with a RTL8188SU driver, which I got from realtek, installed and got working.
The problem is, it is EXTREMELY slow, it's not even funny.
I did a Telecom speed test and after a long time, it measured 4KBs.
Plugged my old wlan adaptor back and dual booted the 32bit back, and it reads 435KBs.
Here are the specs:

So it is supposed to be this slow or am I doing something wrong?
What should I look for when buying a new one?
Thanks in advance!
