Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your iHome USB hub, refer to the following common solutions:

• Gerät nicht erkannt:
  • Ensure the hub's AC adapter is securely plugged into both the hub and a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the USB cable connecting the hub to your computer is firmly connected at both ends.
  • Try connecting the problematic device directly to your computer's USB port to confirm the device itself is functioning.
  • Schließen Sie den Hub an einen anderen USB-Anschluss Ihres Computers an.
  • Starten Sie Ihren Computer neu.
• Ungenügende Energie: If devices are not functioning correctly or intermittently, ensure the AC adapter is connected. Some high-power devices require the hub's external power supply.
• Langsame Datenübertragung: Ensure both the hub and the connected device are USB 2.0 compatible. Connecting a USB 1.1 device will limit speeds to USB 1.1 rates.
• Fehlende Komponenten: If you believe essential parts are missing for proper functionality (e.g., specific cables for certain operating systems), please contact iHome customer support or your retailer.
