Thanks you guys for contributing to my posts! I have managed to solve Device can perform faster when connected to USB3.0. It is simple: change the A6210 's properties->advanced->USB Max from Auto to 3.0.

Thanks for your reply. The internal WiFi card in the Fujitsu is Intel(R) Dual Band AC-8210. As I already have it in my device, I bought and installed A6210 to be used with my other laptops with 2.4 Ghz internal WiFi cards, also Fujisu because I thought with the A6210 antenna, it would boost the internet speed at 5.0Ghz in my bed room located two floors from where I placed the internet router. I have just tested the speed from both WiFi adapters (Intel AC-8210 and A6210) at 5.0Ghz. The result: the speed from AC-2810 is a little faster than A6210. Device can perform faster... is still there.
Later, I will remove AC-8210 and see whether Device can perform faster...still remains.

intel didn't make a wireless card 8210. Maybe you mean the AC-8260?
If so, the intel card will be faster than the A6210. Distance, interference, and obstruction will all slow down wireless speeds. Especially 2 floors away, you're going to see a significant drop in speeds.
One nice thing is you can probably upgrade to an Intel AX-210 for pretty reasonable. Those cards can be picked up for around $25 and you could potentially upgrade the internal card if you're half handy. You might check the forums for the laptop to see if the BIOS has a lock for wireless cards but if it doesn't, might be a good option.
Thanks for your valuable advice. I wrongly typed the number of the internal WiFi card. It is AC8260. At the moment, I am satisfied with the 5.0Ghz speed of both AC8260 and A6210. What I am doing isL I try to fix Device can perform faster when connected to USB 3.0 of A6210. If I cannot find the fix, I think I should be contented with the status quo!

Glad you got it working. Is it any faster? (over wifi)
