Reviews around design (4.26 of 5)

  • Great design, good looks and the right features make this a winner
  • Cord/cable frays around connection to the adapter body because of the poor 2 piece design of the sheath.
  • The device has great design but doesn't work the way supposed to
  • The device has great design but doesn't work the way supposed to
  • So to have something fail so quickly for me is a sign of poor design on Anker's part

Reviews around usb (4.14 of 5)

  • speeds• This USB adapter does not support network booting for recovery purposes or imaging purposes a Mac, which the Thunderbolt adapter does
  • I ordered this mainly for the Gigabit ethernet, and the USB was just an added plus, but this doesn't work very well for my USB mouse
  • but I must say this USB hub plus ethernet adapter works better than expected.
  • However, the USB does work well for charging my phone and other electronics.
  • Additionally the USB 3.0 increases the number of UPS drives I have on my laptop

Reviews around hub (4.13 of 5)

  • Works great both as a hub and to connect USB3 to ethernet
  • The hub will get hot if you are using the ethernet port and one or two USB ports at the same time
  • If you want to add a couple USB ports to your laptop, or want an ethernet adapter, buy this attractive Anker hub and get both.
  • Reinstalled the driver, the hub would crash the machine again
  • My solution was to physically isolate the hub and the Unifying Receiver using a 12-inch USB 2.0 extension cable

Reviews around anker (3.96 of 5)

  • The Anker 3-port solved my issue and for a very reasonable price
  • The Anker adapter is solidly made, and worked well with my Dell laptop that has a USB 3.0 port but no Ethernet port.
  • This adapter by Anker works well as it plugs right into the USB port of the laptop and a wired Ethernet connection plugs into the Anker adapter
  • The Anker has not the worst, but similar to the latter style; every time you fold it, it will retain a memory of that bend: it won't ever go completely straight again, but will not revert to it's original style
  • The Anker USB 3 to Ethernet works great with the driver

Reviews around device (3.89 of 5)

  • Using ethernet connection and iPhone results in "This accessory may not be supported" due to lack of power, device is overheating
  • Great device, got me 1 GBps on my laptop and the USB ports are very handy to have for those extra devices.
  • This device works GREAT with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
  • This little device solves both problems in one nice package.
  • This device promises to deliver Gigabit speeds through USB

Reviews around port (3.33 of 5)

  • I bought it to replace the bad ethernet port on my computer
  • I bought this to go with my Dell M3800, a thin laptop with no wired ethernet and precious few USB ports.
  • All in all, this is a great buy if you don't want to waste a thunderbolt port on your mac just for ethernet or if you want to have more USB ports in general.
  • Not only did it provide me with a solution for Ethernet, it provided three additional USB 3.0 ports and cleaned up my desktop by moving the extra ports away from the computer.
  • Speeds seem fine using all three USB 3.0 ports at the same time

Reviews around machine (2.94 of 5)

  • Excellent build quality and work as with out any issues.
  • It's been working okay, but I updated to OSX Sierra recently, and when I plugged it into Apple's HDMI/USB dongle on my Macbook, it crashed my machine
  • Exactly what I needed to expand USB ports for my Surface Pro 3 as well as to get an ethernet connection.
  • Reinstalled the driver, the hub would crash the machine again
  • The design is an obvious no brainer for the port deficient machines that come out of Cupertino.

Reviews around connectivity (2.54 of 5)

  • When the backup fails, the adapter loses connectivity and has to be unplugged and then re-plugged to regain connectivity
  • It has improved my internet connectivity by at least 200%.
  • Every time the computer is activated after being in sleep mode, I lose the connectivity
  • Unfortunately, after 6 months the Ethernet connectivity stopped working.
  • Plus: Remember that if you are using this for a hard-line internet connection, the connectivity will be briefly disrupted when you connect additional USB devices to the hub so that the drivers can be loaded

Reviews around driver issue (2.09 of 5)

  • I'm not removing a star for the driver issue, because that's not Anker's fault, MacOS should be better about detecting and finding drivers (although I suppose it's possible that Anker could work harder to get it published, but I suspect Apple make that a nightmare of a process
  • And by warm I really mean warm
  • Windows says "A device connected to your computer has malfunctioned", nothing appears in the device manager, not even under "Other devices" so it isn't a driver issue
  • I have to assume that this is a driver issue and that the device physically worked, or else it would never have worked at all.
  • Driver issues connecting to both windows 8.1 and windows 7 on all 4 of my computers even with other anker products connected to it.

Reviews around drive (1.75 of 5)

  • This lets me hook up my USB speakers, external hard drive and use ethernet rather than rely on WiFi
  • If you plug in one portable usb hard drive and a mouse, you might be over the 900mA maximum power draw. and 2)
  • The device works perfectly with my external hard drive, wireless mouse, and ethernet connected simultaneously.
  • But I have an Apple USB 3.0 Smart Drive, an external USB 3.0 1TB back up HDD (with its own external power), and a USB 2.0 mouse connected to the Anker
  • I have an external hard drive with video footage that I edit

Reviews around month (1.54 of 5)

  • It took about 2 months to crack the cord at strain relief
  • Works every timeMove forward a few months
  • Giving 3 stars (instead of 2) under the assumption that this new driver works, but staying at 3 because the lack of a proper driver meant I lost months of use of the product and had to buy a substitute solution.
