Cdock n talk install#
You might want to get the belkin usb2 cardbus card, a nice belkin 7 port hub to go with it, then install a sata RAID card in the dock and a second graphics card. You could of course replace an external card's antenna with custom made cantenna or soemthign like that of course, to hook an external antenna up to a built in card would require some wiring rerouting inside the laptop, unless you like having wires coming out from the bottom. You can install better antennas in the laptop than typical desktop PCI cards, or laptop PCMCIA cards usually have sticking out.
Cdock n talk mod#
However there are better options these days with all the new N stuff, so you might want to search around, you also might need to mod some custom antennas in your laptop, but its definitely a better option than docking only wifi.

As for the best PCI video card, your best bet is either the GF FX 5700 LE or whatever its called, or I think there is also a GF 6100 or 6200 PCI card as well.įor mini PCI cards I replaced the crappy 11mbps ab card with a netgate card with an atheros chipset that is capable of full 108mpbs super G, and has many features (can probably run as an access point in linux, ect) can do 100 mw power output. I do not know about power issues (I don't have any with mine and a single 2GB ethernet card, nor do I know anyone who has had issues), but if you know what you are doing you can probably use a desktop power supply with some cable splicing and stuff.ģ. As for USB 2.0, I just use a belkin pcmcia card in my laptop and my dock pci slots are freed up. (which might not be possible due to processor or cooling system limitations)Ģ. The latest latitude BIOS from Dell is the best option in your case, unless you want to overclock or something crazy like that. Since you already have a latitude BIOS with full dock support (as opposed to the inspiron which has port replicator support instead) there is no practical reason to cross flash to an inspiron or precision BIOS for your system. I am still a PS noob so there are likely better ways to do this but I didn't want to dive too far in without further testing.1. If anyone wants to give this a try you just need to change the "USB gbe" pieces to your NIC's name $nics = Get-WmiObject Win32_NetworkAdapter -Filter "Name like '%USB Gbe%'" foreach ($nic in $nics) Get-NetAdapter -InterfaceDescription "*USB gbe*" | Disable-NetAdapterPowerManagement In troubleshooting, there were also other changes I made so it might be a combination of settings that did the trick.
Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -interfacedescription "*USB gbe*" -Displayname "*idle power*" | Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -DisplayValue "Disabled" So far it has helped 4 users (2 hours on Zoom without any crashes.) If this ends up being a reliable solution I wrote a simple PS command to disable it:
Cdock n talk driver#
Go into the network driver in device manager > Advanced > Idle Power Saving > Disabled. I found a solution that seems to be working really well so far (HP g5 dock.) I need to do much more testing still but I wanted to share what I did in case it helps others. I don't see that anyone tried this yet so my apologies if I missed it. Has anyone else used this combo together or run into this issue with other laptops? or have any other docking station recommendations? However, I have no idea how I can report it to HP without drudging through the tier 1 support for days trying all of the stuff I've already tried again. I tried updating the BIOS, updating the docking station firmware, trying like 5 different versions of the Realtek USB Ethernet adapter driver, and the issue still keeps happening.Īt this point I am assuming it is a bug specific to this laptop SKU either in the BIOS of the laptop itself, or the docking station firmware. If I switch back to my 840 G5 it works like a charm all day. Removing the cable and then re-inserting it, rebooting the laptop, or removing/re-connecting the USB-C cable will fix the issue temporarily, until it happens again. Specifically, the link will stay active and the IP configuration remains, but I won't be able to connect to anything, and can't even ping my default gateway.
I used this for almost a year with an EliteBook 840 G5 without problems, but with the 845 G7 the Ethernet port will stop passing traffic after a random amount of time (usually a few hours). I am having ethernet issues with the 845 G7 and HP USB-C dock G5 combo.
