There can be a lot of variables that can affect the network speed through the dock, and the first thing to double-check as you mention is that the unit is connected to a USB 3.0 port. I know you mentioned that if you use the same Ethernet cable connected directly to your system the performance improves, but would you happen to have another Ethernet cable to swap in and test with? I have seen a few rare instances where this can help, and I just want to make sure the cable is not contributing to the behavior.Ĭan you also let me know what type of network device the dock is connecting to (router, switch) and the brand and model of said device? Looking online at the specification to your laptop it appears all the USB ports are USB 3.0 so that should not be a factor here. Thanks for getting back, appreciate you taking the time to swap the Ethernet cables and letting me know you encountered the same results with two docks (and for including the router model).

To your question, I typically would not expect the USB cable that connects the dock to your system to be the source of lower Ethernet speed but of course anything is possible. A quick way to help test the theory would be to swap the USB cable in use with the one from the ‘other’ docking station. If that helps, great and we will know where to focus. If not, the next thing to check is that the connection speed is not being limited artificially. Gigaware usb to ethernet speed is slow full#Ī way to help rule this out as the cause would be to manually set the link speed for the Ethernet Adapter in the dock to 1.0Gbps Full Duplex as described here -> … I have seen in some cases an instance where the network link speed is not negotiated properly.
