I have three of these I’ve collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.
Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

I have 3 similar ones, over 5 years old. All are working except for the Ethernet port on one of them.
Yeah, I’ve never had one of those fail on me, I didn’t know this was a thing people struggled with. I do make sure to not get the super cheapest brand, it’s something in between.
My biggest frustration is that they never really have the exact combination of ports that I’m looking for.
Got any brand names I can rely on? So far mine have all been cheap U-Green and Ident, and Im a bit wary of them now
My other half just bought an Anker one, I will report back if it breaks.
I’ve had an Anker one since 2022, still working fine.
Mine are LMP.

Maybe this? I have their Steam Deck docking station.
UGreen are usually fairly reliable. They’re not super high quality but they’re not just a no-name generic product with a fake name; they should be similar to Anker in general.
It would be worth checking if your hub is still under their warranty.

Frustrating! I never recommend Amazon - they dodge tax, underpay workers, throw away tons of goods, and their fulfillment centres mix up real and counterfeit goods. No one wins except their execs.
But since it’s already done, have you tried raising it to Amazon?
I know I know, but since Maplins has closed down and when I need electronics, I need them now rather than a few days later, Amazon pretty much wins on that front
