For some reason, my new laptops USB ports are so close together, I had a hard (if not impossible) time putting two jump drives in it at the same time. I didnt even know they sold something like this! It sure helped me out of a tight space (pun intended).

it works

I was getting tired of constantly plugging and unplugging my USB on my laptop. This has been a great way to have multiple cables ready for charging or connecting as needed to multiple devices. So far Ive had no issues with connecting two different micro SD card readers, or any issues with file transfers. The bargain price makes this an extremely attractive choice, definitely ordering another for the home PC.

I’ve been using this hub now (USB 3 port with RJ45) for a couple of months and it works great. It has reasonable data rate on both the USB ports and the ethernet port. I’ve used it on both Windows and Linux systems. It is not a powered hub, so it should not be used with devices that require current draws, like USB to SATA adapters. 5 stars. Note: I have been an Amazon customer for almost 20 years. I write all of my reviews to reflect my personal observations and opinions on a product. It matters not if I have purchased the item myself or if it was provided to me for review. My goal is to provide other potential customers as much real-world knowledge as possible to make an informed decision. In most cases I will return to my review in 6 months or less to see if I should alter my original observations. In no case will the cost of a product influence my opinions at all. In addition, I will try to include multiple images and or videos on each product, if practical.

Hooked into this hub my external LG Blu-ray burner that requires 2 separate usb ports to operate. Other hubs couldnt handle the load and ultimately caused issues. This works great for high demand data transmission and external high power consuming devices!

This is a great option if you have business or personal travel and need to have a USB hub to add ports to your laptop for charging things like your smartphone, headphones, watch, or LED lighting kit. As you can see from the pictures, the hub is small enough to put in with your other accessories and they didnt make the cord annoyingly long to where it just adds additional wires all over your laptop setup for travel. The hub also is great if you have a socket power adapter and just want to use the port as a charger in your office area for all your USB accessories whether at home or in a hotel. Out of the box, I was able to plug the hub into an available port in my laptop and then connect an iPhone one of the 4 USB connectors and get a charge just as fast as if I didnt have the hub at all. A great travel accessory that just works!

Everything functional about this item seems fine. The physical feel of the device seems cheap because the case is lightweight plastic, but thats not an issue of function. Do be aware that Android 11 and 12 software for Samsung and Motorola devices do not let me perform system updates using an ethernet connection - only actual wifi. This is a software issue and not an issue with this product - it will be the same for any ethernet connector. The ethernet connector is still useful for any other internet use, and can still be used for updating apps, just not system updates.

Does its job!

This adapter is plug and play (no special drivers needed) adapter but you will need to restart your modem/router for it to work and turn off the Wi-Fi on your laptop. So happy that I can have a more reliable faster connection vs the WiFi. My HP Envy x360 does not have an ethernet port so I am thrilled to be able to find something that works!

This was cheap and works well I even bought another one for my son. I’m able to use all the accessories I need for work.
