Using the Simplecom CHN420 is a breeze. First, find a USB port on your PC or laptop. Plug the hub into that USB port. Once it's connected, you can start using the three USB ports on top to connect your USB devices like a mouse, keyboard, or flash drive. You can also use the built - in Gigabit Ethernet adapter at the end to connect your computer to a cable network if it doesn't have an Ethernet port. When it comes to the power, the hub is USB - powered, so you don't need any extra power supply. For the best performance, make sure the devices you connect to the hub don't draw more power than your computer's USB port can provide. Most PC USB ports can give 0.5A - 0.9A of power. Don't connect multiple high - power - consuming devices like USB HDDs or USB fans at the same time. Also, keep in mind that this hub isn't meant to charge devices like iPads or those with special charging needs.
