Review on 🔌 Surface Pro Adapter - HDMI Surface Dock Display Port to HDMI Expansion USB Hub with High-Speed Dual USB 3.0 Port (5Gps), Type-C, and 4K HDMI USB Combo Adapter for Microsoft Surface Pro 5/Pro 6 - Ideal for Mouse and U Disk by Tsuyoshi Tendencies

I bought this because my Surface Pro 5 model 1796 experienced the "death of Wi-Fi + Bluetooth" two years later. The easiest and cheapest way to fix this shortcoming is to purchase this WiFi Bluetooth 600Mbps Dual Band 2.4/5GHz USB Adapter. External Wireless Receiver Mini WiFi Dongle for PC/Laptop/Desktop on Revain, but since this USB device is constantly occupying the only USB port on the Surface I thought it would be nice to have more ports. It offers more USB ports, an SD card reader, an HDMI output, and has the right jack spacing to match the Surface Pro. He even looks pretty cool. What it does NOT do is 1) provide enough power to run my Seagate external drive and 2) allow the Surface to boot with a USB network adapter installed. The download hangs for a few minutes and eventually completes, but the USB device doesn't show up in Device Manager. These aren't major shortcomings - I can remove the USB hub and plug the drive directly into a single USB port and just remove and reinsert the USB adapter when the Surface restarts. It's just an annoyance that caused me to deduct 2 stars from the "perfect rating" of 5.
