Hi (new poster here )
Basically I've procured a SP4 (with 256GB storage) to replace my slightly old PC so I will have essentially a smarter laptop/PC. I use PS3/PS4 for gaming which I think is getting more wise and cost effective these days.
However, having a couple of external USB 3.0 HDDs connected via a USB 3.0 hub I've noticed when using them the wifi tends to cut out or not work at all. Sometimes this happens if I'm just browsing two external HHDs and not particularly doing much which is a little annoying.
My solution appears to be to invest in a USB 3.0 hub with an Ethernet port for the internet. Any people on here with experience or knowledge could advise if the Ethernet connection would be affected in the same way as the wifi when using the external HDDs or not?
On a side note, I've heard USB 3.0 can interfere with wifi connections, but I'm not sure how valid that is.
Thanks Marc
