Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, usb 3.0) often won't light up (function) after waking Mavericks from sleep

My iMac is 27" (mid-2010) with 8 GB RAM. My only problem is that my new Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, USB 3.0) often does not wake when computer does. In other words, the power lights remain off following waking the computer from sleep and I must unplug and replug the HUB. I called Anker and they told me that Mavericks has a new "energy saving power mode" that may turn off power to a USB hub. This is most annoying and I hope that Apple can update Mavericks power management to fix this USB issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've seen similar posts from D-Link USB hub owners. Perhaps if this "question" has a response trail, Apple will see it and create a fix.
