Hi,
I bought a Zmuipng USB Type C Multiport Adapter so that I could plug all my devices into the port and just connect that to the USB C port on my laptop to create a docking station. I thought this is how it works - maybe I am being a bit nieve, but the power is not passing through.
So I have connected my laptop power cable which is USB C, HDMI monitor, a wireless mouse and keyboard, a USB webcam and charging my phone via USB to the multiport and then connected the multiport to the USB C port on my laptop.
The devices are working OK through the port (although mouse & keyboard is a bit sticky), but the power is not passing through and from what I could gather from the Amazon advert it supports this.
What am I doing wrong? Have I got the concept wrong? Have a bought the wrong type of USB C multiport/docking? Do I need to change some settings on windows?
Does the laptop need to support passthrough charging? I wouldn't have thought so right as the power should just pass through. Do I need to get a charger that is higher than the 45W increase the power to the multipower like 100W maybe?
Can someone help me troubleshoot and solve this issue?
Kind regards.
Brendon.
