My problem is as weird as it sounds.
I have a Tenda Wifi USB dongle that I use with my Windows 8.1 machine. It's pretty great, only that it requires a new USB port to feed from every few months. After it sucks a USB port dry, it slows down the internet to a crawl and I have to put the dongle into a brand new USB port to bring it back to speed again. Then a few months passes and it destroys that USB port and I have to put it into another new port. Rinse and repeat. I have completely exhausted my desktop's USB ports in the back and I am now resorting to using the ones I have on the front.
What could be the problem here? I hope there is a solution to this madness. I have tried uninstalling the dongle from the device manager but it doesn't seem to help!
Thanks!
