I have dual monitors connected to the dock and from time to time the second monitor doesnt wake up from sleep when I connect the macbook.

This defies the whole purpose of the dock and doesnt seem to be something that is being worked on solving.Ģ. There are a number of threads about this issue and Belkins only response has been to unplug everything before computer goes to sleep. When macbook goes to sleep and you have ethernet cable connected it will take down your entire network. Numerous issues making it a poor choice I bought this dock at the start of 2021 and it's been a bumpy ride.ġ. If not I guess it would be a bit easier to find other users with the same problems. There are a few glitches from time to time on that setup, so maybe it's just that the DP is a bit faulty and for some reason the m1 really doesn't like that. I also still don't know what the problem is, because it works fine with an older MacBook Pro that's also on Monterey. I was very frustrated when I couldn't find any solutions online, so I thought I'd post this here to let people know. Finally I bought a usb c to DP cable, and that seems to do the trick, connecting to the thunderbolt/usb c port in the back. I tried a thousand things but nothing worked. When I then upgraded to Monterey (with hopes of these issues being resolved) the display just wouldn't work at all. It wouldn't recognise the display when connecting the dock, so I had to put the computer to sleep, wait for the dock LED to turn amber and then wake it up and that would always work. However I had some issues with my external display connected via DP right from the start in Big Sur. Some tips for M1 users I'm overall very happy with this dock. Please do something to perform better on the enviromental friendly part. Or, sell it separately, or save on material by sending just one powercable with a choice of small adapters for the plug into the wall part, like some other companies do. I understand that in your point of view you might think you save money on not doing so, but it won't be possible to go on for ever doing like this. Please, in the future, send this product only with the cable needed in the area where it is to be used. It comes with a hight cost for our one and only planet to produce all these things that will never ever be used. Just what are we supposed to with powercables for United Kingdom and Switzerland that we living in the EU have no use for? Throw them away? As if resources on earth was unlimited? They are not. Just one thing, WHY does it come with all these excess cables? I sit here now with 6 powercables that are of absolutely NO USE for us. Good product but to much excess cable-waste Bought 3 docks for my academy's video editing suites, it's got all the right connections and works well for the purpose.
