BoomphDell Thunderbolt Dock WD22TB4 - 's Comprehensive Ultimate Performance Dock Solution for Your Workspace

I recently bought a multi-screen display for my laptop and needed a docking station with multiple thunderbolt ports, this is EXACTLY what I needed to complete my portable work-station! Charges quickly, plenty of ports, and most importantly...enough thunderbolt ports to extend my display to two extra screens.Totally worth the money!

I purchased a Dell laptop that came with a Thunderbolt USB port. I purchased a cheaper dock and it worked OK, but it did not share charging capability. I purchased this dock and charger and now have a complete Thunderbolt system with new monitor. I migrated to Thunderbolt as other devices became more affordable. This dock is expandable. It has become the heart of my entire system. Printer, extra monitor, charging for cell phone, key board dongle. It just takes care of everything perfectly.

Ethernet port does not get recognized by windows on start up, to use it, I had to unplug the dock from PC and replug it back in.My PC is a Dell XPS 13 plus, which should be fully capable with this dock. But I noticed the Ethernet connection is not picked up and PC is only connected to WiFi. Going into device manager, Ethernet adapter is hidden and event shows “this device had a problem starting.”Unplugging and replugging while PC is on fixes the problem. Device manage recognizes the Ethernet port and connection is normal.Updated PC bios; uninstalled and reinstalled network driver from both dell and intel multiple times; reset net work settings twice; installed dock driver from dell; turned off power efficiency settings; executed several command prompts to renew IP and network settings; restored PC to earlier versions.None of the above solved the problem.Returning and buying a new dock to see if the new dock still has the problem. If so it might be an issue needed resolving from dell. If new dock solves the problem then it should be just a hardware issue with my current dock.Will update comment once the new dock arrives.UPDATE:New dock arrived without Ethernet port problem. First dock was likely a faulty unit.

I considered getting the Dell WD19S 180W docking station, but one customer review stated that, while it worked, it was not getting 180 watts (he tested it). So I wanted to get this Dell Thunderbolt™ Dock – WD22TB4, even though it was more expensive. It is, simply put, a very robust docking station, especially with USB-C ports. It seems like hardware is moving away from USB-A and towards USB-C. This doc has two USB-C Thunderbolt (powered) ports, one USB-C non-powered port, and one USB-C display port.While I haven't checked every port out, I have hooked my big monitor into the USB-C display port, I could get rid of my laptop power supply and cord since I plugged this doc right into one of my laptop's two USB-C ports (which powers the laptop). I have an ethernet cable from my router which plugs into the Ethernet RJ45 port. I have several USB-A devices plugged into the dock. Everything works fine, as I would have hoped.

It died after one month!!! Waste!
