Use of USB Hub with Ethernet RJ45 Adapter
I recently purchased a small laptop to be used as our team's driver station. Our old one was broken. It has one USB 3.0 on the right and one USB 3.0 on the left but no ethernet port. I bought a 3 Ports USB 3.0 Hub with RJ45 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter LAN Wired Adapter.

Our driver station has three joysticks, one on the left for the robot operator and two on the right for the robot driver.

My question is does the RJ45 coming off of the adapter has to be dedicated to connecting to the FMS or is it okay to connect some joysticks to the 3 USB Hub also? Can you please explain the data rate requirements instead of a yes or no answer so I can learn something? Thanks.
