Troubleshooting

Device not recognized after connecting to hub

Ensure the StayGo hub is properly connected to your MacBook. Try unplugging and replugging both the hub and the peripheral device. Restart your MacBook.

No power delivery to MacBook

Verify that your MacBook's power adapter is connected to the correct USB-C port on the StayGo hub. Ensure the power adapter and its cable are functioning correctly.

HDMI output not working or displaying incorrectly

Check that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the StayGo hub and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source. Try a different HDMI cable or monitor to rule out hardware issues.

Slow data transfer speeds

Ensure that the connected USB device is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds. Avoid connecting multiple high-bandwidth devices simultaneously if performance is critical for one specific device. Check for any obstructions on the MacBook's USB-C port.

Ethernet connection unstable

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the hub and the network source. Try a different Ethernet cable or port on your router/switch. Restart your router/modem.
