Crappy cable? I've seen a few times a 2.0 device gets downgraded to
1.x when connected with a substandard cable. A good quality cable
(try Belkin) solved it for me.

Worth a shot, I have tried moving the hub from one port to another, but
it made no difference.

Oh, one more thought - check where the hub in question was made. If
it's China, that explains it. If they deliberately use led paint for
children's toys (saves a fraction of a penny per toy vs. non-toxic
one), and conveniently forget to put cord into tires (saves both
material and labor - a few bucks total per tire - who cares if people
die when it blows out), you can expect similar "quality" materials and
workmanship from the hub.

Isn't everything made in China these days? Avoiding Chinese made hubs
might be like trying to avoid any Swiss chocolate made in Switzerland.
