These two little devices give me considerably more leeway in connections: the Mouse antenna now sits on the (USB-2) minihub, leaving two more ports, while HEMA USB stick sits in one of the three USB-3 ports on the USB-C to Ethernet converter, leaving two extra USB-3 ports, as well as the (powered) USB-3 port directly on the laptop, allowing my Blue Ray drive still to be connected to Tine as well # #
