tl;dr: cheap hubs with ethernet failed, dedicated Apple ethernet adapter worked. Author still isn't sure exactly why.
- procarch2019 5y agoTBF, hubs in general seem to fail regardless of brand. See my other comment about Dell hubs vs docking stations. A model of ‘hubs are cheap because they fail frequently’ is a poor one. Hubs should be cheap because they can’t deliver power and device connections or they have limited port types.
- jscheel 5y agoI have been consistently blown away at just how bad usb hubs really are. The market is absolutely saturated with garbage, but it seems like even the high quality ones aren't really that good.
- seba_dos1 5y agoIt's the network switch that failed there. Apple adapter works only because it has less features.
