[Update] Works but has errors

(Original) I use this docking station with an HP Specter laptop and the integration is perfect. I don't have to open the lid of my laptop to turn everything on, and I can keep my laptop's screen closed and off when it's docked. I run two 27" HDMI monitors as well as various peripherals including but not limited to my external hard drive. All of this with a single USB-C cable connected to my laptop. I haven't experienced a single crash. (Update) I've been using this for about a week now and I'm intermittently losing my ethernet connection and I'm having trouble scaling on my external monitors. Namely, the dock is trying to render my laptop's screen on 1080P monitors, even though the screen is closed, which causes a problem with scaling, I can open and close my laptop, reboot, and everything works until the next day or shutdown when I have to do it again. from the Dell Latitude with no issues in three years to the HP Specter with that Wavlink dock that causes more trouble than it's worth. I'll update again if I can get it to work. Otherwise, I'll explore other options besides this dock. (Update 2) Posted by uninst By using all the manufacturers suggested drivers and letting Windows 10 install its own driver I fixed all of my previous problems except for the intermittent loss of ethernet at boot. So I'm increasing my rating to four stars.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Waiting too long
