Review on πŸ”Œ Plugable USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station for Windows and Mac - Dual Monitor Support, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 6 USB Ports - Horizontal Design by Mike Bogan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

need work Don't buy if you have 5G internet and don't want slower speeds.

I like working on two screens, but I also like my laptop's processor and the ability to be portable. This docking station was very easy to set up and came with all adapters. Before the product even got to my house, the company emailed me instructions on how to install the drivers. - Update - although the company was very good initially, I emailed them with my problem (no phone number) and never got a reply (3 times). The problem is inside. If your router has a 5G internet band and your laptop can receive internet speeds above 72 Mbps, you will be limited to that 72 Mbps as it is not compatible with 802.11ac WiFi adapters (which come with almost all new laptops available). . ). This caused my computer to disconnect and then reconnect to the internet about every 2 minutes - very annoying. It took me a lot of searching and trying to understand that in order to give you that exact 72 Mbps to stay connected to the internet, I need to change the adapter setting on my laptop to 802.011 b/n/g. It really sucks! looking for replacement now :(

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet
