Dude, USB is a basic rule, what actually works in the fringes is what may count.
What SPECIFIC unit did you buy? "I bought an EBay unit" is not enough info in this case.

For those that deal with comms or PC's, there is a loose standard, what actually works is another question.

I deal with automotive diagnostics comms, saying to get a "X" cable is worthless, getting a cable with a "Intel xxxx Chip with this version firmware" is worthwhile.
I have other examples.

Please link the exact unit you bought, that can help.

Thanks.

Not your fault, but they don't list the chipset they use. That can be the difference in whether or not it works in some fringe applications.
I see the listing also shows it won't ship to the US. :-(

Charlie, you asked specifics of what USB hub I used with the LX and where I purchased same, I have done that, it works on the LX9000 with the Wifi option. which is where this started, so I am not concerned with "fridge applications" I I also live in Australia so the postage options suited me fine !

I am NOT picking on you.........
While USB is more generally accepted, some "standards" are less than standard.

I thank you for your link, really.

Your workable solution does not ship to the US (not your fault).

I just wanted for myself, and others, a link to a solution that worked for you.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Appreciate the link to a solution.
Have a great day.

For me, and why I asked, a USB to serial connection may TOTALLY depend on the chipset.
Yep, "what is serial?".
This and other connections can depend on the chipset, I have had this issue for industrial as well as automotive applications.

Glad it works for you, seems like USB is a bit more tolerant of differences.

Again, for the umpteenth time, thanks for the link.
Have a great day.......
