UtechSmart USB C Hub, Ethernet Multiport Adapter 6 in 1 USB C to HDMI Dock Compatible for MacBook Pro/Air, Chromebook, Dell XPS, HP and Type C Devices (Gigabit Ethernet 100W PD 4K HDMI USB 3.0) Black

I'm experimenting with replacing my Windows PC with a higher end tablet. so I wanted a docking station (let's call it the DS) to connect it to a mouse, keyboard, and most i importantly, my 28 inch display screen. So Far, So Good! This review is going through the docking station, the S9, and DEX, then displayed on a nice big screen! I REALLY like using a REAL keyboard!Once it was delivered, I rushed to my workstation to see how it worked. And it didn't! Nothing, NOTHING would work. It kept telling me to check the cables. So out of frustration, I had lunch.It turned out that the case I bought for the S9 fooled me into thinking I had the DS plugged into the tablet, but it was not. Once I had figured THAT out, the docking station, and the tablet worked well together.I like that I'm using two different RF Dongles for the keyboard and mouse plugged into the DS. I don't have to use battery power to use Bluetooth for those accessories. Plus, I still have one USB 3.0 port free. The Keyboard and Mouse don't appear to lag, at all. If it does, it is so minor that I am unable to percieve it.I like that I can power the Tablet from the DS. I'm using a 20 watt Amazon charger, and it seems to work just fine. The tablet doesn't give me any messages that I'm on a slow charge and it seems to charge as it does without the DS.The only real negative is that the cable from the DS to the Tab S9 is a bit too short for the tablet to be propped upright. The tablet display remains on, and the S Pen can be used with it. I'm thinking that I might want to use the tablet itself as a sort of touchpad sometimes. I might find applications where I would want the tablet display to remain upright. I don't know, but it MIGHT be a problem, maybe.Build quality seems good. I think the DS case is metal, at least it looks and feels like aluminum. And the cord going to the Tablet seems quite robust. I can't comment yet on reliabiy, It will take some time for that info to appear. But functionally, it is everything the seller claims it is. I am satisfied.Edit: I bought one for my wife.

The UtechSmart USB C Ethernet Multiport Adapter is a great small and versatile tool. I use it to connect my Android phone or tablet to an HDMI display that is not a smart device. I primarily use it in my kids' room to watch Netflix or YouTube videos on the larger screen, or in our travel van where I have a display for the kids to watch TV while on long travels.I love this tool because it eliminates the need for DVDs, which can get scratched and the kids get tired of watching the same movies. With this tool, I can connect their device to the display, and they can watch everything together on the display and listen through my van speakers.The tool also has other great benefits that I use with my Mac, such as the ability to connect USB devices for external storage, connect to an HDMI display, or connect to Ethernet cables. This is a great tool to have in your computer bag, especially if you use a Mac or any other computer with a USB C port.Pros:Small and lightweightVersatileEasy to useAffordableWorks with a variety of devicesCons:The HDMI port only supports 4K output at 30fpsThe Ethernet port does not support Gigabit speedsOverall:I highly recommend the UtechSmart USB C Ethernet Multiport Adapter. It is a great tool for anyone who needs to connect their devices to a variety of displays or peripherals.Overall, I am very happy with the UtechSmart USB C Ethernet Multiport Adapter. It is a great product that I would recommend to anyone.

I was looking for an USB C Ethernet adapter for my new Samsung Galaxy book 2 Pro 360, and the first couple I ordered had the problem of constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. After some digging into the issue, it seems this has been a common problem the plagues USB C adapters, and may be due to the connection being loose, or the hub overheating, and the hub not being able to supply all the power necessary to maintain connection. So I needed a hub that had PD so that power draw would always be sufficient to maintain connection. This hub has worked as advertised, It hasn't disconnected once, and I have plugged 3 external hard drives, in addition to the Ethernet port, and getting very fast speeds, well over 400 Mbps on my 400 Mbps plan, and upload speeds are as advertised as well. So far I am very happy with the purchase, I will update this review once I have used the HDMI port.Update: 7.15.22My laptop no longer recognizes the USB Hub. I contacted customer service to request a warranty replacement, and they shipped one out within a couple days. After sthinking about why the first hub failed, I believe it could be a heat issue. I have 3 external USB SSDs connected to the hub along with the Ethernet port, and the USB C power delivery port to provide the necessary power. I notice it gets quite warm, so I have been monitoring the heat, and placing it on a cooling pad, which keeps it from getting too hot. I wish I didn't have to use the cooling pad, but I'm pretty sure that was what led to the other hub failing.
