Not compatible with Netgear Orbi LAN

My Netgear Orbi RBK50 LAN has been acting strange lately, all the ethernet connections in my house stopped working intermittently while the wireless connections stayed connected. I almost went insane looking for a solution to the problem. I searched everything I could think of with Google. I have replaced the ethernet cables. I have replaced the ethernet switches. I even did a factory reset of the router and reconfigured everything from scratch. Out of desperation, I started deleting devices one by one (I have 49 devices plugged into my router at home) until I found the culprit. I found that every time I unplugged this USB-C hub from my 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2018, all wired network connections dropped. Something is happening with this hub's network connection that simply cannot be trusted.

Pros
