Hello, i have a printer and scanner connected to a rpi 3b+ so everyone (at home) can access them through wifi.

Now the scanner is a CanoScanLide 400, which is powered though USB. This didn’t seem to be an issue with the raspberry, but recently i had to re-plug everything and now the scanner isn’t turning on with the raspberry anymore.

Does anyone have a suggestion for something low cost that is similar in size and power consumption and can support a usb powered device?

(Ideally also with wifi 5ghz, since this is the last device connected to the 2.4ghz)

Maybe it would work with a powered USB hub?
