I have had this annoying problem and had no idea what was going on until I stumbled upon forums somewhere after many Google searches. My Anker USB 3.0 hub would cause my bluetooth keyboard/mouse receivers to become unresponsive at random times (in retrospect at times when the hub was placed close to the Macbook Pro). I placed the hub at some distance from the MBP and voila the issue went away!

I'm glad to see that problems with Anker USB 3.0 Hubs happen not only for me. In my case, the Wifi became unusable once the Hub was connected. Quite a shame for a nice looking, affordable device to have a breaking issue with shielding.
Nice looking, affordable, doesn't break stuff.

Pick two.

I wonder how hubs downgrade usb 3 uplink with usb 2 devices
Usually USB 3 hub just contains separate hub for USB 2 devices so they don't use USB 3 uplink at all.
