Great for One Accessory at a Time

I bought this product hoping to use it as a sort of dock for my Dell XPS 13. It works great if you only need to hook up one item at a time. But, when you try and connect a display, a USB Device, and an Ethernet cable, the adapter chokes. The internet drops out, or your USB devices stop working, and the monitor occasionally disconnects as well. If it was marketed as a USB multi-adapter I would give it full marks, but it fails to act as a hub. Weirdly enough, when you supply both it and a laptop with external power, it becomes much more reliable, but this is quite the hassle. If you just want to be able to plug normal stuff into your laptop, this works GREAT, but don’t expect to plug multiple devices in at once reliably.
