I bought this recently. While the USB (normal ) ports work. The USB-C ports do not seem to work i.e. cannot connect my power source or the monitor.

Hello MarinaV,
All of the mini hub's ports should work. Since its a plug and play device, it should have performed right off the bat. Try using different cables and verify if the setback persists. Contact us at BelkinCares@belkin.com for further assistance. Indicate your contact details and the link of your review for easy reference.
None of the USB-C ports works. Neither hard disk or sound card.

Hi PONILSSON,
We truly appreciate your bringing this to our attention so we can request one of our Product Experts to check if this could be a possible hardware issue with your USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub. Please let us know what are the devices connected to the Hub at BelkinCares@belkin.com. In your email, include your contact details and the link to this post for easy reference.
Again, Belkin needs to address more clearly that this WILL NOT passthrough charging.
Honestly, not really sure why that wasn't a thought it the engineers head when designing this product.
4 Ports to power and connect all my peripherals but no way to keep my MacBook Charged.

Hi, jhous3s,
The Belkin USB-C 4-Port Mini Hub (F4U090) does not support pass-through charging, however, it can charge peripherals with 900mAh (shared). We already took note of your feedback and relayed it to our Product Management Team.
For queries and assistance, we can be tapped anytime at BelkinCares@belkin.com. We'd be more than happy to serve you.
Like for a few other users it shuts down my WIFI nearly completely. Theres still some traffic according to MenuMeters extension but this has no use when I am not able to use my WIFI with this plugged in. Belkin should fix this problem asap.

Hi, grmon,
The Belkin Hub (F4U090) is a plug-and-play device that simply provides port expansion for your peripherals and devices so it shouldn't affect your Wi-Fi connectivity. We'll have one of our Second Level Support Technicians look closely into this matter for further isolation. Please drop us an email at BelkinCares@belkin.com with your contact information and the link to this review.
This hub has _no_ power delivery. But it never stated otherwise. It is what it is advertised (and quite good at it). It is nothing more, but you cannot blame Belkin for that. Although Belkin might consider highlighting this fact in the description, as most users will buy it for Macs with no other ports to charge... but that tells more about apple... (no offense, I am a MacBook owner too)
Why was this product even created when it wont do what i EXPECTED it to: to charge the MacBook WHILE using wired mouse & headphones. To prospective buyers: this thing will NOT charge your MacBook. Poorly conceived product.
