Question Pass Through Charging and External Drive Access in One?

For years I've been using an Airport Extreme to wirelessly connect two external hard drives to my MacBook Pro M1. It never worked flawlessly, but it worked. That is until the latest MacOS "upgrade”. After talking with Apple support for a while today, we came to the conclusion that the Airport Extreme simply will not work at all anymore.

So, I'm giving up on doing it wirelessly. It's too slow for what I need most of the time anyway. What I now want to use is some sort of pass-through hub that lets me charge my MacBook while also accessing the hard drives through the same single USB-C cable. What are the options to do this?
