“I use the product to connect to my modem/router via an Ethernet cord since my Lenovo does not have a Ethernet port. It seems like the product only will connect to my low speed network. Wondering if the product can only handle slower speed networks?”

Hi there! The Best Buy essentials™ 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub is designed to expand the number of USB ports on your computer, allowing you to connect devices like keyboards, mice, flash drives, and printers. It supports data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, which is the maximum for USB 2.0. However, this hub is not built to handle Ethernet or internet traffic directly. If you're using it alongside a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, the overall network speed will be limited by the USB 2.0 interface. In real-world use, that typically means a cap of around 100–300 Mbps, even if your internet plan or Ethernet adapter supports higher speeds. |Angelica| Best Buy Essentials Products|
