This unit is plug and play. Just plug it in with the supplied adapter and connect it to your computer. The usb cable is replaceable. The hub is connected via the supplied usb a male connector cord.

This is a very very well made device that adds a lot of capability to a computer and especially a laptop. Dedicated charging ports work very well.

When i fixed my usb thumb drive, and reinserted it fully, the system recognizes it right away. The hub is compatible with a variety of operating systems and device types.

As more and more electronics move to usb-c, it is difficult to find good ac powered usb-a hubs. This allows my to use one usb port on my computer, but plug everything in nicely and neatly. As someone who uses a ton of usb ports this thing is awesome.

Usb hub will only connect when my pc boots up - upon using any connected drive in any way, it disconnects completely and is unrecognized. Hub frequently disconnects or re-negotiates its connection with the host. Everything on it will disconnect.

I know it's not a single computer, because i tried 3. I have a mouse that was stalling/sticking on the screen.

"why make a great product then sell people a cheap garbage ac adapter? That's all you need to know if you're like me, and have too many things that work off usb" "it's too bad because this could have been a great device.
