Design and Performance

It also features intelligently placed USB ports that ensure all of your devices plug in without interfering with each other.

Nobody likes a flaky WiFi connection with videos constantly buffering, or laggy connections to multiplayer game servers. A wired network connection can help the flow of data to remain constant, and improve transfer rates. The USB3-HUB3ME can improve speeds compared to most wireless networks. Plug into any laptop or desktop limited to 10/100 Ethernet or no Ethernet at all to benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet network. The hub also works on 10/100 Ethernet networks at their native speeds.

USB 3.0 systems support theoretical maximum transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and USB 2.0 supports up to 480Mbps. In practice, most machines will double in network speeds by moving from a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet to a 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet via USB 2.0, and could see more than twice that gain on USB 3.0.
