the anker hub it says only 3 of the ports supply the 2.1a?

also im not real fond of my pluggable hub i just got.. same as the one you have.

it has some auto switching power thing and sometimes it just turns off and you have to push the button to turn it back on.. Sad



Those 3 ports are charging only ports, so not using them. Clearly getting pretty good amperage on the others so far to be running stable at 900mhz. HW error rate is consistently lower on the Anker than the Pluggable also, so I guess this is an indication the power is cleaner.

Will be interesting to see how the Anker 10 Port USB 3.0 Hub handles 3 or 4 (perhaps more if you can fit them with a USB cable) all at once.

Pity about the Plugable 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub - have ordered this one. If I face the same issues I will be requiring a new USB hub to handle 7 Moonlander 2's and am currently looking at the below options:

Yeah, I don't have that. Anything I can buy that'll have an AC plug in order to gain enough power?
i just picked up one of these myself

i cant tell for sure if it will work, but it should. it says all of the ports are bc 1.2 for fast charging.

keep in mind only 3 will fit on that hub.

I am planning to get the same ("Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Charging Hub with 60W Power Adapter with BC 1.2 Charging Support") and add 4 of these "USB 3.0 Angle 90 Degree Extension Cable Male to Female Adapter Cord length 20cm - Left" (https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-0-Angle-90-Degree-Extension-Cable-Male-to-Female-Adapter-Cord-length-20cm/142492388176?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=441486635559&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649) in order to fit a total of 7 x FutureBit Moonlander 2 (three directly connected to the USB Hub on ports 1, 4, and 7 and four connected via the cables to ports 2, 3, 5, and 6). Hoping this Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub will give sufficient power to all 7 ports at least for all 7 Moonlander 2's to run on a mid-level frequency or little lower, otherwise I guess I will have to get 2 of these USB Hubs.
