Operating Instructions

The VEMONT 5-in-1 USB C Hub operates on a plug-and-play basis. Once connected, your operating system should automatically detect the hub and its connected devices.

• Using USB 3.0 Ports: Connect your USB 3.0 compatible devices to the blue USB 3.0 ports for high-speed data transfer. These ports are ideal for external storage, keyboards, mice, and other USB peripherals.
• Using Gigabit Ethernet: Plug an Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port to establish a stable and fast wired internet connection. This is particularly useful in areas with unreliable Wi-Fi or for tasks requiring high bandwidth.
• Using Power Delivery (PD) Port: Connect your USB-C power adapter to the PD port to charge your host device while using the hub. This port supports up to 100W power delivery, ensuring your device remains charged during intensive use.

• Slow Data Transfer:
  • Confirm that your connected USB devices and cables are USB 3.0 compatible for optimal speeds.
  • Avoid connecting multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously if you experience slowdowns.
• Charging Issues:
  • Ensure your USB-C power adapter is connected to the hub's PD port and is capable of delivering sufficient power (e.g., 100W).
  • Check if your host device supports charging via its USB-C port.
  • For devices like Chromecast with Google TV, ensure the power source is 45W or more.
• Ethernet Connection Problems:
  • Check that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the hub and your router/modem.
  • Verify that your network settings on your host device are configured correctly for a wired connection.
  • Restart your router/modem and your host device.
