Troubleshooting
Hub not recognized by the computer
Ensure the tethered USB-C cable is securely plugged into the computer's USB-C port. Try a different USB-C port on your computer if available. Restart your computer.
Connected USB devices not working
Check if the devices are properly connected to the hub. Try connecting them directly to the computer to rule out device issues. Ensure the hub is receiving power if using PD pass-through.
Laptop not charging when power adapter is connected to the hub
Verify that the USB-C power adapter and cable support the required wattage (up to 100W). Ensure the power adapter is plugged into the correct USB-C port on the hub. Confirm that your laptop supports USB-C Power Delivery charging.
Slow data transfer speeds
Ensure your connected peripherals and the computer's USB-C port support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) or higher. Avoid running too many high-bandwidth devices simultaneously if your host system has limited bandwidth.
