USB supports three data rates:

 

* A Low Speed rate of up to 1.5 Mbit/s (187.5 kB/s) that is mostly used for Human Interface Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks.

* A Full Speed rate of up to 12 Mbit/s (1.5 MB/s). Full Speed was the fastest rate before the USB 2.0 specification and many devices fall back to Full Speed. Full Speed devices divide the USB bandwidth between them in a first-come first-served basis and it is not uncommon to run out of bandwidth with several isochronous devices. All USB Hubs support Full Speed.

* A Hi-Speed rate of up to 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s).

 

I always connect via LAN connection as I have so many usb devices that I need the one that the router would use.

 

Plus I think that the LAN connection is miles better for networking

USB is absolute pants for networking. Get a decent ethernet card in and use that - will cost about a fiver.
