ASUS B550M TUF USB Hub Issues

[JaZoN_XD]

Hello,

I have the B550M TUF, it has:

• 4x USB 3.x on back panel
• 2x USB 2.0 on back panel
• 2x USB 3.0 on front panel

I am trying to use a 1 -> 3 port USB 3.0 hub on my front panel headers for my mouse and keyboard (both wireless).

 

The issue is that as soon as I attach a third device (USB stick) into the remaining front panel port, the keyboard will drop out completely or start to work extremely intermittently. If I put the USB stick into the back panel, the issue doesn't happen.

 

In addition, if I put the mouse, keyboard, and USB stick onto the hub and connect to any port on the motherboard, the mouse and keyboard stops working, but the USB stick seems to show up in Windows.

 

What the hell is going on?! Why can't I use a simple USB hub?

It could be the hub, that can't handle it. Have you tried using it with another computer?

 

Regarding wireless connectivity - it is very possible, that the hub is causing interference, which results in bad wireless connectivity. I had a USB-C hub, that basically killed WiFi on my MBP whenever it was plugged in. It caused interference and all WiFi signals ended up so noisy nothing could get through.

Tried it on different computers, they worked perfectly fine.
