Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install drivers to use the UH720?
No. The UH720 is plug-and-play on Windows (XP through 10), macOS X, and Linux. Simply connect it to your computer and it’s ready to use.
Can I use all 7 data ports and 2 charging ports at the same time?

Will my USB 2.0 devices work with this hub?
Yes. The UH720 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though data transfer speeds will be limited to the device’s maximum rated speed.
Can the charging ports charge iPads or Android tablets?
Yes. The 5V/2.4A smart charging ports use TP-Link’s Smart Charging Technology to detect and deliver the optimal charge current for both iOS and Android devices, including tablets.
Is this hub suitable for use with external hard drives?
Yes. The powered design ensures external hard drives receive adequate power through the USB 3.0 data ports without relying on bus power from your computer.
Does it work with macOS Ventura or later?
TP-Link lists macOS X compatibility. For the latest macOS versions, the hub functions as a standard USB 3.0 device and should work without drivers, though we recommend checking TP-Link’s support page for the most current OS compatibility information.
