Anker 556 Hub and Steam deck

[Ricotta Elmar]

hello, maby someone here can help me out,

 

i have this anker 556 usb-c hub, and i connect it to my steam deck but i have  a problem with stability of the hub

 

i am using the 556 dock cable to deck , i also tried a older usb-c 3.1 to usb-c 3.1 cable but it didnt solve the problem

 

what i have connected to the hub is as follows,

hdmi 2.0 cable

sabrent nvme to usb-c enclosure with a 15 cm usb-c cable that came with sabrent enclosure,

eth cable

anker flow 100w charging cable

anker nano 2 65w / ugreen 100w charger

 

but thing is it keeps disconnecting video my monitor flashes on and off,

same applies to the nvme enclosure it keep dissapearing from the steam deck,

 

this is the 2ns 556 hub but it didnt change anything in behavior

 

i don't know why but the only platform it works well with is apple ipad pro 2021 , no problems on that,

 

i also tried a jsaux dock HB0603 that one dont have this problems at all but it lack usb-c port for nvme, it is far more stable than a brand i trusted called anker

 

if anyone know any fix please tell me

I don't know the Steamdeck nor this hub so sorry for the lack of help. But for the SSD enclosure, you can use a USB3-A to USB-C cable to use the second hub you mentionned.
