Q: Powered USB charging issue

I purchased a Dynex powered USB hub. It's a four port hub and works fine for my M-Audio interface, my iPod Touch 5th gen, iPod Classic... basically anything I plug into it. However, when I plug in my iPad2 it connects to iTunes fine and transferring files is okay, but a message pops up beside the battery icon saying "iPad not charging".

 

If I unplug the powered USB hub from the wall all the other devices continue to work, but now the iPad is completely unrecognized.

 

I've tried resetting the iPad and unplugging all the other devices.

 

It's a drag having this hub in an easy to reach location and still having to reach over to my MacBook in the farthest corner of my desk to plug in my iPad.

 

Any thoughts/suggestions? Is this common? Should I try another hub at the risk of waisting more money?

 

Thanks for any feedback.

 

MacBook 2008 latest Lion, iPad2 (late model) latest IOS 6
