Q: When I try to use the USB Hub I get an error "Too many USB Hubs are connected together. A USB hub will not function when it's connected more than 5 hubs away from the root port". The laptop is connected to the docking station and the hub is connected to the docking station.
Actually, the 10-Port USB Hub requires three USB Hub ICs, not just one. Similarly, the USB Dock also needs two or three USB Hub ICs to provide USB ports and features like ethernet or a card reader.
The ID-US0811-S1 uses three USB Hub ICs, while docking stations typically use at least two or three. Laptops typically use one as well. Connecting all these devices can lead to a combined usage of more than five Hub ICs.
Therefore, we recommend directly connecting the 10-Port USB Hub to your laptop for optimal performance.
