Reviews around device (4.37 of 5)

  • This is a really neat device, that gives you internet and three additional USB ports for small computers or laptops without ethernet jacks
  • Anker is a decent company and I have not bought a device from this company that I don't like yet.
  • Great little device that worked out of the box on Linux and Windows,getting me away from a proprietary ethernet dangle on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon without limiting my USB ports, and even giving me extra
  • Especially since the device is utterly useless without the ethernet driver.
  • It is a great compact device that will serve its purpose.

Reviews around speed (4.31 of 5)

  • I get great speeds for transfers over USB 3.0, and the Ethernet connection is almost as fast as a built in network card
  • Contacted M/S tech and using remote connection M/S discovered a software issue.
  • 3.55If your benchmark shows its speed of DL/UL is extremely slow like 100Mbps, you have to find USB-3 port.
  • The speed is fast, both on USB and ethernet, and the price was fantastic.
  • You will get very slow speeds, unless that has been fixed since this review.

Reviews around hub (4.13 of 5)

  • Very nice data hub, useful when your laptop doesn't have
  • I only go into the office once a week, but that one day, the HUB will become unresponsive at least once.
  • Works great as a USB hub and even better as an on-the-fly Ethernet adapter for my Lenovo X1 Carbon.
  • so I had to put the hub on the left side, on a USB2 port, losing all of the USB3 goodness
  • This HUB is ideal for anyone with a laptop or 2-in-1 that doesn't have Ethernet capability.

Reviews around work (4.08 of 5)

  • I haven't put the externals through massive use, but the fact that it can actually load them both is pretty cool!---- Original -----Ethernet works well, don't expect to use any of the USB ports, except maybe one
  • The bad: on my new Macbook pro running OS 10.13.3 this works TERRIBLE.
  • Built well, works great, highly recommend, would buy it again.
  • I needed something with an ethernet port which the Air doesn't have and this has worked great.
  • This one works perfect and its faster then the PCI-E Ethernet card I had installed in my computer

Reviews around usb (3.85 of 5)

  • There are a lot of less expensive portable Ethernet - USB docks that look identical to this one, but Anker really is top notch quality
  • Works beautifully and now I have a few more USB ports available
  • I would recommend this for any computer with limited USB ports.
  • but I"m sure has more to do with my slightly damaged USB ports than a fault in the product.
  • Plugged dongles directly into the same USB port, no issues

Reviews around connection (3.75 of 5)

  • My Wacom Intuos tablet and ethernet connection do not work through this hub on my Windows 10 laptop.
  • I just bought a Lenovo Yoga 900, and it has limited connection ports for external devices.

  • My ethernet port on my desktop pc quit working, and my wireless connection to my router was awful.
  • so it definitely does not slow down the connection (thank you USB 3.0)

Reviews around port (3.56 of 5)

  • Works beautifully and now I have a few more USB ports available
  • A little pricey, but worth the cost, it’s a perfect adapter for any laptop either missing Ethernet Port, or lacking USB ports, transfer speeds are fast and steady!
  • Posted by husband of AmeliaWhen you break the usb port on your laptop or your desktop
  • I needed to be able to connect ethernet cable to my laptop that lacks an ethernet port; so this was the perfect way to do that and give myself a few more USB ports to play with.
  • This the second Anker USB 3.0 port I have purchased recently the first one was for My Dell Laptop which lacked an Ethernet port, the second one was for my Wife's Lenovo laptop.

  • Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to stick with the overpriced apple adapters
  • It works as you expected and has great speed and design
  • Works great as a USB hub and even better as an on-the-fly Ethernet adapter for my Lenovo X1 Carbon.

Reviews around mouse (1.63 of 5)

  • hub caused my wireless mouse to effectively stop working
  • The first time I tried using it, it my mouse lagged super hard
  • It worked fine at first, but then after some time, my mouse and/or keyboard would become intermittently unresponsive.
  • My only reservation about this product is connecting a USB receiver for a keyboard/mouse to it; the mouse and keyboard seems unresponsive
  • The fan that I have connected to my hub might turn on, but the mouse won't be responsive

Reviews around drive (1.59 of 5)

  • Perfect number of ports, driving keyboard and external hard drive
  • I have a two usb port Macbook Pro which I used with an old USB 2 ethernet combo hub, which worked fine except it wouldn't power portable hard drives
  • And the USB ports let me plug in a mouse and a hard drive.
  • But this is an understood limitation and I have no plans to "max out" the device - a portable hard drive (which typically would have a high current draw) will always be connected directly to the computer using a separate USB port and not through this USB hub
  • I also have an external hard drive connected to one of the USB ports with no issues.
