WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station Dual Monitor for Windows and Mac, USB 3.0 or USB-C Dock Video Display Outputs HDMI/DVI/VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, 6 USB Ports, Audio

This Wavlink docking station works great for my Dell Latitude 5300. It is true plug and play with no software to install. I had been searching for a docking station that did not connect to my laptop via the C Port, as I needed that for an external touchscreen monitor. This is the perfect solution for that problem since it plugs in via USB. The monitor output is great. I dont see any decreased resolution whatsoever and the docking station came with several adapters so I had no problems getting two monitors hooked up.

I recently picked up a 13.3 laptop and it is severely lacking in connection options. It has 2 USB-A ports, a USB-C port and 3.5mm jack, besides the power connection thats it. This is working perfectly to keep everything connected AND to keep me from having unplug disconnect a bunch of wires every time I need to pick it up and walk into a conference room or head out to meet with a client. This is precisely what I needed AND the fact that it is powered from a connection through the USB-A port means that it isnt monopolizing the USB-C / Thunderbolt connection. The only issue I had with it was that connecting a Logitech USB Wireless Dongle. Trying to run the wireless mouse through this was SUPER SUPER laggy. It was almost unusable. Outside of that, very pleased with it. Very pleased with it.

I can’t believe how well this docking station works. I already had a docking station for my windows 11 laptop that I was pretty happy with. It connected to one of my USB C ports and I was able to use it for my Ethernet port, and to add several USB C, 2 and 3 ports. It also had an HDMI connection but I could never get it to work correctly to my second monitor which had an older VGA connection. With this docking station I just connected the VGA cable to the included DVI to VGA connector and the monitor worked perfectly. The only connector this docking station doesn’t have is a USB C port and the manufacturer thoughtfully included USB to USB C converter. Besides I freed up a USB C port on my laptop by switching to the WAVLINK docking station. The docking station also included a audio in and out ports. I love this docking station.

It seems that all docking stations right now are meant to be used with a usb-c port. So I was pretty happy to find this one that just uses a good old usb port. I’m using three older laptops, two converted hp and dell linux laptops and a MacBook from 2015 running Monterey. With my converted linux laptops Im running Ubuntu 20.4. Everything except the displays worked. I tried to install drivers but I ended up having to reinstall Ubuntu. I don’t think it has to do with this docking station, it looks like there’s some issues with Ubuntu 20.4 with displaylink drivers and hardware that they are trying to fix. Same problem with my MacBook. All of my accessories worked except the displays. The reason for this was also not the dock’s fault but an issue with Monterey if that’s your current OS. Apple is working on a fix right now but anything using displayLink will not work as of now. The accessories I have running through the docking station are my iphone, which was visible on all three laptops, a microphone, a soundbar, keyboard and mouse, as well as an external hard drive. They all worked flawlessly on this docking station. This docking station is also lightweight. I love all the adapters that are included with it. If you aren’t going to use them with this docking station you can use them for something else. Usually you don’t get these types of adapters included so i was stoked! The power cord is way too short which is weird because they give you a super long usb cable… All in all it’s a good docking station. Just be aware the displays might or might not work and can change with system updates. A lot of people who had display link devices before an upgrade said they were working before the upgrade and then stopped working after. It’s just something to be aware of and look into before upgrading your OS.

Havent had any issues using this for one of our basic PXIe chassis setups to extend to a second 1080p monitor. All the ports seem to be working fine. So far, it is a good item.

The very first thing you notice on this is that its a very solid bit of hardware. Using this as a docking station, its not sliding around the desk - its a bit hefty. This comes with a USB and separate power brick. Its another item that has the power circuitry at the plug, so it does need a little room - if youve got a tight outlet youll be using, you might want a small extension with a normal size plug. Thats about the only beef I have with this, though. Its got a reasonable number of USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0 (no USB C) to have a desktop station set up for a laptop. It also handles HDMI and DVI, and provides an ethernet port if needed. The DVI was actually welcome, given one of the monitors I had. I dont know how heavily used it would be. In short - its not fancy, theres no USB C ports, but its a solid piece doing a solid job, and thats really all I could ask of it.

This unit has great compatibility compared to Several have tried. And being vertical, it takes much less space. I tested it on an HP Pavilion, which is almost never compatible with most docks, running windows 11. It worked even before I installed the display link drivers. Was able to run 2 external monitors as well as the laptop display. The Ethernet worked great as well. Tested both in a USB 3.0 port and USB C. Same in either. Also tested on a 3rd gen Lenovo ThinkPad E15 and it worked well. Only took a pic with all 3 screens mirrored on that one, but they worked in extended mode as well. If you do not need power delivery and want almost guaranteed compatibility, get this dock.

I recently purchased the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station and it has been an absolute game-changer for my work setup. This docking station is compatible with both Windows and Mac laptops and offers dual monitor support, with HDMI, DVI, and VGA display outputs. I love that I can easily connect my laptop to multiple monitors without any additional software or drivers required. The docking station also features a gigabit Ethernet port, which ensures a stable and fast internet connection. I no longer have to rely on spotty Wi-Fi when Im working from home. Additionally, the 6 USB ports provide plenty of options for connecting peripherals and charging devices. The audio output is also a great feature, as it allows me to connect external speakers or headphones directly to the docking station. This makes it easy to switch between my laptop speakers and my external speakers with just a few clicks. Overall, Im extremely satisfied with my purchase of the WAVLINK USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station. It has streamlined my work setup and made it much easier to connect to multiple devices without any hassle. I would highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile docking station for their laptop.

I love that the cable that connects to my older laptop is a USB-A and not C, although an A to C adapter is included. I am using HDMI connection for my TV, and wireless mouse and keyboard adapters plugged into the USB ports. The external power supply helps the video signal will stay strong.

I was looking for a way to expand the connectivity and functionality of my laptop. This docking station while light on some of the modern ports (it lacks USB-C) and has 4 USB 2.0. It also has a DVI and HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, 6 USB Ports, Audio and Mic ports. This docking station is great for connecting a laptop to multiple devices and peripherals, such as monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers, printers, scanners, external hard drives or thumb drives. The dock is pretty compact coming in a bit smaller then the size of most laptop chargers. It has a slick feel somewhere between smooth plastic and Lego. It has a black plastic body with a no slip base that attracts dust pretty aggressively. The docking station has a variety of ports and slots that can accommodate different types of devices and cables. It has: - A USB 3.0 Type B port that connects to your laptop via a USB 3.0 cable (included) - x2 USB 3.0 Type A port - x4 USB 2.0 Type A port - A HDMI port - A DVI port - A Gigabit Ethernet port - A Headphone port - A Mic port It also comes with three converters - A USB Type A (Female) to USB Type C (Male) - A VGA (Female) to DVI (Male) - A HDMI (Female) to DVI (Male) The docking station also comes with a power adapter (12V/2A). I have been using the dock for about a while now, and I can say that it has definitely improved my laptop experience when I am stationary using a multiple monitor and mobile station setup. I use it for both work and entertainment purposes, and it allows me to connect my laptop to multiple devices and peripherals with ease. Some of the benefits that I have noticed from using the USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station are: Of course, the dock is not perfect and has some drawbacks as well. Most notably it has an older set of ports, DVI and only USB Type A with many being 2.0 is not ideal. However it is useful with my current peripherals.
