Connect up to 4 USB 3.0 devices to your computer through a single port with this Dynex™ DX-U34H41 USB hub, which features 4 USB ports that support data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps for fast uploads and downloads.

Static electricity causes ports in the hub to stop working. Disconnect the power plug and the plug connecting the hub to the USB port at the back of the computer. Wait a few seconds. I like to wait about 30 seconds, although that is more than what the manual requires. Put the power plug back into the hub. Then put the USB connection plug back into the hub and everything will work again until static electricity somehow builds up and incapacitates the ports again.

This is not such a bad hub, after all and I was not ripped off. Other hubs may experience static electricity problems, too.

Phil, thank you! All my coworkers thought I was crazy and I am on my third hub.

It just happened again but found your advice and it worked like a charm! Although, your advice to discharge yourself on your desk was exactly my problem. In some way that is a mystery to me, the static electricity is traveling through the metal frame of my desk and finding its way to the hub. All of the four ports go dark. However, I am also using a metal usb hub: There has to be an easy way to ground these things! Thanks for posting though. I am glad to have been of help.

Company of heroes 2 mods. Defending Wehrmact forces were aware of this importance and moved to engage their airborne foe with haste, each force being unprepared for the other when they clashed. With British and American forces landing in nearby Wolfheze, the road to Oosterbeek needed to be secured to later provide roadways and railways into Arnhem, where the main offensive was beginning. Oosterbeek played a crucial role in Operation Market Garden, and was both a staging ground and route of retreat. Bitter fighting between hedgerows and buildings demands combined tactics on a large scale.

It is not that I am a genius. This solution was in the instructions that came with my hub. If you wear any man-made fabrics you generate static charges on your body by natural movements, especially in a dry winter climate. When you touch a hub, a static charge you may not see (by means of a spark) or feel as an electrical shock can jump to the hub and make the USB connection inoperative. Disconnecting the hub allows the charge to dissipate.

If you have a metal case on your hub, you can attach a light flexible bare wire to the metal and connect it to the metal frame of your computer tower. Touch the metal hub case and then add or remove your device. Thanks for your comment. It is good to know someone was able to use this. Who would have thunk it?

I have a *cheap* self-powered, 7-port usb hub. 'Cheap' to the effect that it doesn't even carry a brand-name. Data devices (flash drives, blackberry, printer) pretty much stopped working. I had even tried unplugging just the power. But after reading this, I.

Unplugged power-supply 2. Unplugged usb-to-computer cable 3. Unplugged all usb devices from all ports 4. Plugged in power-supply 5.

Plugged in usb-to-computer cable 6. Plugged in all usb devices as they were. So now I have to go clear out my shopping cart at newegg.:) THANKS!

Rated 3 out of 5 by tkboomer from OK, but starting to fail I've had this hub for about 1 1/2 years. For a powered hub that only offers 4 usb connections, it's pretty expensive.

Recent one of the connections stopped transferring data though it's still, curiously enough, suppling power. Unfortunately I need 4 reliable connections so I'll have to buy a new USB hub. Given that I paid a fair amount for this unit and assumed that by doing so I would be getting a premium product, it's unlikely I will buy a Belkin hub again.
