Anker USB C Hub, 11-in-1 Docking Station with 4K@60Hz HDMI and DP, 85W Power Delivery, USB-C&3 USB-A Data Ports, 1 Gbps Ethernet, 3.5mm Audio, microSD and SD Card Reader

I tried a number of different hubs before purchasing this Anker model and was unhappy with all of them, but i'm really happy with the Anker, all of its features work very well (even with my iPhone 16PM!) and easily deserves a 5 star rating. Especially noteworthy highlights include so far i've been able to use any port, or any combination of--or all--ports (including power delivery (PD) at the same time. Plus the MicroSD card and SD card ports show up as separate drives in file system (unlike with many other hubs having the same two card ports) and the Ethernet port allows much faster data throughput speeds than any i've ever seen on the iPhone using any wireless connections (including 5GHz Wifi or 5G cellular).

I got 60 fps to my TV from it from a surface pro studio laptop. I didnt get HDR to work but I had so much trouble getting 60 fps, that HDR is just a future possiblilty, though i do miss having it on films, but im using this for projector 4K TV as a laptop pc monitor now i have a keyboard and mouse on the hub. I bought the simple usbC to HDMI from MICROSOFT that cost 99$ and only got 30 FPS, advertised HDR 60 fps. its useless . (i assumed they tested it with their own product, which is a high end 2500 laptop with 2 usb ports. My mechanical keyboard didnt work at first it was recognized as a sound device. triied every driver, no luck So i bought a Samsung high speed changing usbC to big usb, just one last thing to try. And it worked!!!! be CAREFUL with this stuff.. dont ASSUME ANYTYHING IS gonna work. try different cables and the best wires too. for a PC you need at leat 60 fps . For mouse u no more lag thant 40 ms or Game mode or it will stutter unusably. This hub gets hot though. but it works and its fast and got great value for cost and good reviews on youtube as well. Im giving 5 stars because HDR is a mess and i cant expect everything to work, it might be microsoft laptotp partial support for it.

I picked up two these docks because they would drive a DP and HDMI monitor. They work well on my HP Win11, Linux computer and a Samsung tablet with some caveats. Pros: USB ports work as expected LAN speed approaches 1Gbps as expected Video: 4K through DP and FHD through HDMI as expected Full-sized SD slot works as expected Cons: The audio jack only supports output so my headset doesn't work. I have to use an adapter to be able to listen to audio with my headset. Can't use for conference calls. The uSD slots are dead on both docks so I have to use a uSD-to-SD adapter. Video from USBC output port to USBC monitor doesn't work. Maybe my expectations were off. Using HDMI for now. I wanted an inexpensive dock (<$65) that could handle all my I/O and provide power to my notebooks, but the audio output, uSD and video through USBC let me down. So close, and yet so far away. I'm making the best of it for now.

This portable docking station is exactly what I needed for a quick and easy workstation setup. It’s very easy to use—just plug and play with no hassle. It includes all the basic ports you need, making it super convenient to connect an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The display ports work well, and there’s no noticeable lag or connection issues. Perfect for anyone looking to expand their laptop's connectivity while traveling or working remotely. Compact, reliable, and gets the job done.

I recently bought this UCB-C HUB from Amazon to get more UCB ports. I also planned to use the HDMI port of the HUB to connect one monitor, and then use the DisplayPort of the HUB to connect my 2nd monitor with a DisplayPort to HDMI cable (Amazon Basics) I bought from Amazon. After I received this HUB product and verified, the HDMI port and USB ports on the HUB worked very well, however the DisplayPort on the HUB did not work. I tried one Dell Inspiron laptop and one HP Elitebook laptop, both could not detect the 2nd monitor through the DisplayPort on the HUB. Also, I tried another new DisplayPort to HDMI cable and the issue was same. Finally, I had to only use the HDMI port on the HUB to connect one monitor and another HDMI to HDMI cable to directly connect my 2nd monitor to the laptop, this solution was not convenient as expected but it worked. I gave 5 stars because the technical support from Anker was very nice, he actively called me and tried to solve the problem for me. Also, the customer service from Amazon was great and their shipping was very fast beyond my expectation. By the way, this USB-C HUB is small and looks very nice.

Works as it should, enough said

When I received this Anker Hub, I was struck by the seemingly superior build quality as it felt like solid aluminum. I hooked everything up to my MacBook Air via USB-C and a 67W Apple USB-C Charger for passthrough charging no problem. My monitor connected via HDMI with no issues either. I did have an issue getting my Logitech USB webcam working properly in either USB 3.0 port, but it would work okay while plugged into the (presumably USB 2.0?) "Keyboard/Mouse" USB Port so that worked once I figured that out. However, today I turned on my computer to find no audio output. I tested my Bose speakers with another source and they were fine, I plugged direct to my MacBook no issue there either. No matter how many restarts or shutdown and boot attempts I made, or connecting headphones to the Audio jack, that jack on the Anker Hub is toast. I went through the reviews for it and did a search for "audio jack" and found about 10 or 12 other reviews mentioning the same thing, that the shoddy soldering job inside would cause the 3.5mm audio jacks on these hubs to die anywhere from a few days to few months after hooked up. When I tried to contact Anker support for a replacement, they just simply state they do not provide refunds and will not replace their clearly defective product (even though it is under 2 months old). So lesson learned, no more Anker products for me at this point.

I needed a USB-C hub with ethernet and having audio out would be a plus. The Anker 11-in-1 seemed to be the right choice even if the cost was a bit high. After receiving it, the hub feels well built and is a nice shape/size. I connected it up to my MacBook Air M2 setup with a 4K monitor, backup drive, USB3 hub, power, ethernet and audio. - Ethernet issues Everything worked except the ethernet. MacOS does not show an ethernet adapter present and after quite a bit of reading, no one else seems to reference it, either as working or not. Anker has no drivers and does not reference it other than saying it has ethernet. No solution has been found. - Audio issues I have found out that everything else works seamlessly and reliably except the audio output. When I "dock" the MacBook sometimes there is no auto output. MacOS does not show the Anker as an output option. Unplugging the hub and removing power from it (PD) and then reconnecting it again solves the issue, basically disconnecting all power from the hub. Once in a while the laptop will wake up to have no audio output as well. Again unplugging and replugging the hub and PD solves this. Unfortunately I am tired of that unreliability and so I just connect the audio to the built-in plug on the MacBook. - Conclusion In the end I am not using the two things I very much desired to have in a hub and as such, the added money spend was wasted. The 7-in-1 was probably the better choice and I would have gotten a card reader for about 1/3 the cost. - Update on Nov.7, 2022 I updated MacOS to Ventura and now I have a new network connection. It has a non-intuitive name, AX88179A, but it is in fact the ethernet connection on the 11-in-1 Anker, and it works. So at the moment, one issue is fixed.
