Troubleshooting

No video output to monitors

Ensure the monitors are connected to the correct ports and powered on. Verify that your computer's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode or USB4/Thunderbolt. Restart your computer and the dock.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that the dock is connected to a USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 port on your computer. Check that the connected peripheral also supports high-speed data transfer. Ensure no other high-bandwidth operations are simultaneously saturating the connection.

Device not charging

Verify that the dock's power adapter is securely plugged into both the dock and a wall outlet. Ensure your computer's USB-C port supports power delivery and that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the dock's or the port's capacity.

Network connection unstable or not working

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the dock and the router/switch. Try a different Ethernet cable and port. Restart your router/switch and your computer.
