Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install drivers to use the UH700?
No. The UH700 is plug and play on Windows (XP through 8.1), macOS X, and Linux. Simply connect it to your computer via the included USB cable and it’s ready to use immediately.
Can I use all 7 ports at the same time?
Yes. The included 2.5A power adapter provides sufficient power for all seven ports to operate simultaneously, including bus-powered external hard drives.
What is the difference between the UH700 and the UH720?
The UH720 includes two additional dedicated 5V/2.4A smart charging ports for iOS and Android devices, bringing the total to 9 ports (7 data + 2 charging). The UH700 offers 7 data-only USB 3.0 ports at a lower price point. If you need to charge smartphones or tablets at your workstation, the UH720 is the better choice.
Will my USB 2.0 devices work with this hub?
Yes. The UH700 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Data transfer speeds will be limited to the device’s own maximum rated speed.
Is it suitable for connecting external hard drives?
Yes. The powered design ensures external hard drives receive adequate, stable power through the USB 3.0 ports without drawing from your computer’s bus power.
Does it work with Windows 10 or 11?
TP-Link lists compatibility up to Windows 8.1 in the official specifications. As a standard USB 3.0 hub, it should function on Windows 10 and 11 without drivers, though we recommend checking TP-Link’s support page for the most current OS compatibility confirmation.
