Review: Provides an (old fashioned) LAN port for modern kit. - Having worked in IT for almost 40yrs, I've become accustomed to certain things ... like: 1. cables, like coat-hangers, will always get twisted up no matter how well you store them 2. The increasing computing power now compared to when I started is off the scale 3. Kettle leads 4. LAN ports on laptops It's this last that has caused me to buy this item. Modern laptops no longer provide an old style Cat5 LAN port, and when I wanted to test my raw internet speed I needed to plug in a LAN cable.. only I couldn't. Cue this purchase which does the job expected. It works, appears to have a good data throughput and looks solidly built with the main casing being metal. My only fear is losing it!
Review: Simple and effective. - A touch expensive if I'm honest... However, as is with all Anker products I own and have owned over the years, it seems well built and just works. I plugged it in and connected the ethernet cable and boom, instant gigabit connection. Mine does seem to have warmed up over the many hours of usage, but it's not excessively hot and of no concern at the moment.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use it with new ipad pro 11 inch?**
A: I'm assuming so, as I've just plugged it into my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 inch for the first time and it immediately worked perfectly.  Note that you'll get an extra "Ethernet" entry appear in General settings when you have it plugged in.

**Q: Would this work with the Nintendo Switch?**
A: The description specifically states "This hub is not compatible with Nintendo Switch" so unless anyone has in fact got it to work with a Switch, I guess not.

**Q: Does it work for phones like the one plus 6?**
A: It does work to provide internet to devices including phones with usb c. 
Google pixel 2 XL works not sure about one plus phones.

**Q: I hace a samsung galaxy a7. can i connect this phone using a wired connection to the internet via my router?**
A: I have just tested on my Galaxy 2017 A5 which has Type-C USB and It worked perfectly. If you have 2017 A7 which has Type-C don't see why it shouldn't work.
If you have a 2018 A7 I believe Samsung have gone backwards to a micro USB.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Perfectly But Gets Hot
*by M***N on 26 May 2019*

I bought this to provide an ethernet connection to my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9", and it worked perfectly from the moment I first plugged it in. As at least one other reviewer here has commented though, it does get quite hot in use, and I'm a bit concerned not only by that heat itself, but also by how much my iPad battery is being drained in order to generate it. Ideally I'd like to see a female USB-C port provided on the device, so that the iPad could at least be charging while the ethernet connection is in use, and so not draining the battery.
