I have put together a DIY External Powered USB Hub by following the instructions. (Instructables, htc-linux)

  • USB hub with 4 ports
  • 5v 2A AC/DC power supply (It varies when tested with multimeter, 5.3 ~ 5.5)

DIY hub

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Here is the lsusb -v I try plugging Logitech K260 and Netgear N150 - WNA1100 wireless adaptor, nothing was detected when connecting via Hub. I couldn't figure the issue, I tested for the connectivity of of the 4 points (+5 D+ D- GND), seems to be working.

I would like to use my Netgear N150 instead of LAN cable. Though it is detected if connected directly, it doesn't connect. I assume it is due to power requirement, it is the reason why I built this USB hub in first place.

Here is the output from lsusb -v

    You were supposed to solder the power on the PCB - Not mid way on the USB wire. That just causes serious issues with Data because you mess with the shield and cause noise that is not expected. Does it work in windows? If not. Bin it, thats your lesson learnt and paid for. Then, do it properly...(I suspect there are diodes missing also.. ehh)

Manipulating the usb cable is not a good idea, as, in consideration of the high frequencies involved, it must be considered a transmission line (*) to all effects: in the best case (i.e. very very very clean work AND very very very good luck) you get some performance downgrading. It is possible that you got nearer to the worst case than to the best one.

The htc-linux procedure seems more reliable than the instructables one. Of course in the framework of a very very very clean work.

(*) Note: the key feature of a transmission line is translational symmetry. Any symmetry breakdown causes signal reflections.

It may be over voltage. When they say the USB spec is 5 V it's usually much closer than 5.3. The fact that the power supply ranges so much isn't a good sign. It could be causing continued resets on the Wi-fi or activating its over-voltage protection. Try to see if you can clean up the power-supply's output some (or try a phone charger temporarily?). A 5 V Zener diode should protect more from the over-voltage at least.

  • USB spec is pretty clear about this: 5V line should be between 4.75 and 5.25V, anything substantially out of this range (like 5.5V) is asking for trouble. Commented Apr 4, 2017 at 14:08

Not sure if this would help, but this one is the most pathetic USB hub that one can get. I had to discard two of these before I switched to a better one, and voila! everything worked! So, try replacing this (such) hub with a better one, and see. Also, you might want to plug-in the WiFi adapter directly to Pi, and use this hub for other miscellaneous devices with lower power requirements. I assume the wireless mouse requires much less power than the WiFi adapter.
