You can try use `modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1` to force the adapter run under USB 3.0. But if your adapter/port/motherboard not support it, the driver will be in restart loop. Remove the parameter and reload the driver to restore. You can try use `modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1` to force the adapter run under USB 3.0.
