Troubleshooting
Device Not Recognized
- Ensure the hub is properly connected to both power and your host device.
- Try connecting the USB device directly to your computer to verify it's functioning.
- Restart your computer or host device.
- Try a different USB port on your computer.
- If using a high-power device, ensure the hub's power adapter is connected and providing sufficient power.
Slow Data Transfer Speed
- Verify that both your host device's USB port and the connected USB device support the desired speed (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen2 for 10Gbps).
- Ensure you are using the provided high-quality USB C to C/A cable.
- Avoid connecting too many power-hungry devices simultaneously, which can affect overall performance.
Charging Issues
- Confirm the power adapter is securely connected to the hub and a working power outlet.
- Check if your device supports PD charging via the connected USB port.
- The hub's power output is shared among all connected devices. Disconnect other devices if a specific device is not charging adequately.
User Tips
- For optimal performance with SSDs, ensure your system and the hub's ports are fully compatible and updated. Some users have reported issues with certain SSD devices not being recognized by this splitter, even when they work with other hubs. If you encounter this, try connecting the SSD directly or using a different port/cable.
- Always use the provided power adapter for stable operation, especially when connecting multiple devices or charging.
