    Anker 3-Port USB 3.0 Aluminum Portable Data Hub with Gigabit Ethernet Port Network Adapter for Mac, PC, USB Flash Drives and Other Devices

    • USB ports work, Ethernet does not
    • This works great, and actually supports USB 3.0 speeds with my external SSD.
    • I figured I might as well find another USB to Ethernet hub... why not Anker
    • I bought this to compliment the requisite USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter for a 2015 MacBook
    • But I could have done that with a much cheaper USB hub.
    • Would give 5 stars if they used a different Ethernet chip instead of the Realtek, it would be nice to have a higher performance chip (especially given the improved USB 3.0 speed of this USB hub), and it would be nice to have a chip that worked "out of the box" without requiring a driver download.
    • The USB and ethernet didn't work on my Macbook Pro
    • The most common problem with traveling with MacBook Air is not enough USB ports and Pay-for-connection WiFi in hotels
    • but I must say this USB hub plus ethernet adapter works better than expected.
    • USB 3 work well, but I haven't tested speed
    • USB 3 work well, but I haven't tested speed
    • Great for unpowered USB devices like USB drives
    • Going back to the product, Anker 3-Port USB 3.0 worked flawlessly
    • Internet speed is much faster and the USB 3.0 is great too
    • But great non the less 3.0 usb and
    • 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 no longer use the ethernet port and the USB ports are starting to flake out.-------------------------------------------------USB works great but the ethernet cuts out and disappears after standby, UNTIL you install the patch for your Mac from the Anker website.
    • USB mouse lags or stops working all together
    • We keep these in our I-T toolkits for use with thin notebooks that are not equipped with RJ45-ethernet, since thin-books don't have room for RJ45 connector, and they sometimes don't have enough USB ports, either
    • Both USB and Ethernet throughput are great, and it has no problem powering at least one external USB drive
    • Unfortunately though, my computer doesn't have enough USB drives for all of that
    • Freezes USB IO.
    • The USB to Ethernet adapter works great.
    • Very good product, USB 3.0 and gigabit for the price of 1 adapter from apple.
    • The 3-port USB did not work
    • Additionally the USB 3.0 increases the number of UPS drives I have on my laptop
    • I get great USB 3 speeds plus an Ethernet port
    • It also works well from within a Parallels virtual machine running windows 7 - again - after you install the driver (and the Parallels USB 3 support).
    • In conclusion, this is a great USB hub that would be slightly better with a little extra cord length.
    • I prefer ethernet whenever possible and this device allows me to use it at my desk with a ethernet cord as well as some additional USB peripherals
    • USB 3.0 speeds are great, Ethernet works perfectly
    • It works perfectly fine as a USB to Ethernet adapter.
    • It works perfectly fine as a USB to Ethernet adapter.
    • So, currently it seems to me that this is a fine USB hub for lower power items such as plugging in a mouse, a speaker set, and a thumb drive all together at once, OR a single solo larger usb portable drive (with none of the other items plugged in), and for occasional use of the ethernet jack with no other devices plugged in.
    • 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
    • Have a nice Logitech with USB dongle available
    • speeds• This USB adapter does not support network booting for recovery purposes or imaging purposes a Mac, which the Thunderbolt adapter does
    • Even if you don't use it for the ethernet ability, it works well to give you three USB 3.0 (and backwards-compatible for USB 2.0) inputs
    • Love this USB and Gig E port, I use it on a Mac and it worked right off the box
    • USB 3.0 is fantastic
    • I have other USB devices that work fine in the same laptop, so the problem is not the USB port on the laptop
    • This is a great USB 3.0 hub for any desktop or laptop
    • However, the USB does work well for charging my phone and other electronics.
    • This is another handy Anker USB device
    • However, the USB does work well for charging my phone and other electronics.

    • USB 3 ports works without doing anything
    • Excellent usb hub, and great delivery time!
    • I bought this to go with my Dell M3800, a thin laptop with no wired ethernet and precious few USB ports.
    • It also works well from within a Parallels virtual machine running windows 7 - again - after you install the driver (and the Parallels USB 3 support).
    • It makes me not have to decide what important USB device I have to unplug to get the USB thumb stick in
