I just installed a WL-UG69PD2 on a Mac Studio running Sonoma (updated).
I have two 32" 4k monitors connected by DP cables to the Display Port.
There is one other HD connected to the Display Port in a backside USB3.0 port.

I tried connected several USB devices using the remaining USB ports but none seems o provide sufficient power for the devices.

a) tried to connect an iPad that I use as a teleprompter device (through Duet) to both the front and back USB3.0 ports - booted, then shut off screen on iPad
-- then connected it to the USBC ports using an Anker dongle - and it didn't work
-- connected the same iPad back to my front UBS on my Mac Studio and it worked fine

b) tried to connect my DJI Pocket 3 to the USBC ports on the front of the Display Port with rated 3.1 cable.
-- only booted as a camera, and did not allow boot as a webcam
-- connected the same Pocket 3 with rated 3.1 cable to front USBC port on my Mac Studio and it worked fine.

I know of others who have connected two monitors, a hard drive and several cameras (CamLink) to a Display Port successfully. Any idea why this would not work here?
