how to install Satechi USB4 Multiport w2.5G Ethernet
1) Identify a suitable USB‑C or USB4 port on your computer. The hub is designed to work with USB‑C‑enabled devices that support USB4 or Thunderbolt 3/4‑class controllers. 2) Connect the hub to your computer using the included USB‑C cable or the cable that ships with the device. 3) Connect an HDMI cable from the hub’s HDMI port to your display or displays to enable external monitoring. If your setup supports multi‑monitor configurations, ensure your host system and display chain are configured to extend or mirror as needed. 4) Attach a network cable to the 2.5G Ethernet port for wired networking. This provides faster and more stable connectivity for large transfers, cloud workflows, and online collaboration. 5) Attach any compatible USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, storage drives, cameras, etc.) to the hub’s USB ports to expand your workstation without plugging into the computer directly. 6) If your hub model supports power delivery passthrough (check your model’s specifications), connect a USB‑C power adapter to keep your host and peripherals charged during use. 7) Power on your displays and device, then your computer should recognize the hub as a common peripheral hub. You may need to adjust display and network settings in your operating system to optimize performance, resolution, and multi‑display arrangements.
