If you encounter issues with your Vansuny USB 3.0 Hub, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not recognized or unstable connection | Loose connection, insufficient power, incompatible device. | Ensure all cables (power and data) are securely connected. Verify the power adapter is plugged into a wall outlet. Try connecting the device to a different port on the hub or directly to your computer. Ensure the device is compatible with USB 3.0/2.0. |

Use the dedicated fast-charging ports for devices requiring higher power. Ensure your device's charging cable is not faulty. |
| Hub not detected by computer | Faulty USB cable, computer USB port issue. | Try using a different USB 3.0 data cable. Connect the hub to a different USB port on your computer. Restart your computer. |
