Macbook Pro Issues - No Extended Desktop No Internet

Before purchasing this adapter, I had a monitor connected to my Macbook Pro using an HDMI to USB-C cable. I bought another monitor and bought this adapter to connect both monitors to my Macbook Pro. I bought this particular adapter so I can connect both monitors using the same USB-C port. When I connected my monitors to the adapter, the desktop was only duplicated/mirrored (although I had disabled desktop mirroring in System Preferences > Display). And in the system settings, the second monitor was not even recognized. Also, I couldn't connect to the internet (and I double-checked that other devices in the house had an internet connection). So I grabbed the HDMI to USB-C cable I had been using with my single monitor setup and reconnected it. And left a monitor connected to the adapter. I can connect and expand two monitors and have an internet connection. However, this setup uses two USB-C ports. I originally bought this adapter to save on using the USB-C ports. My option is to try a different adapter so I can connect two monitors to the same USB-C port. Or continue to use separate ports. I am definitely returning this adapter. I could still use it for a dual port setup, but I can get an HDMI to USB-C cable or a single port HDMI to USB-C adapter for half the price. In summary, if you try this on a MacBook Pro, all you have is a duplicate desktop and no internet connection.

Pros
