Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device not recognized by computer.	Loose USB cable connection. Hub not powered on. Faulty USB port on computer.	Ensure the USB 3.0 data cable is securely connected to both the hub and the computer. Verify the power adapter is connected and plugged into a working outlet. Try connecting the hub to a different USB port on your computer.
Slow data transfer speeds.	Device connected to a USB 2.0 port on the computer. Device itself is USB 2.0.	Ensure the hub is connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer (often blue). Confirm that the connected device supports USB 3.0 for optimal speeds.
Devices not charging or charging slowly.	Device connected to a data port instead of a charging port. Power adapter not connected or insufficient power.	Ensure devices are connected to the dedicated red charging ports. Verify the 12V2.5A power adapter is correctly connected and receiving power.
