    I just purchased a USB C based docking station for home and want to swap both my work Dell laptop and personal Lenovo laptop. This works great other than I noticed the colors are slightly washed out compared to direct HDMI for the same laptops on the same monitor. I have fiddled with the HDR calibration settings but I don't really know what's going on. I generally am the person that understands exactly why things aren't right but on this one I don't really know what a docking station is doing to change the display behaviors or settings. Can someone explain what might be happening to cause this

    :)

    I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

    1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.
    2. When i'm on docking station system says i'm connected to home Wi-Fi, but when i browse says not connected.
    3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
    4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Make sure the power light for the docking station is on

    • Make sure the monitor is getting power

    • Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor

    • Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station

    • Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)

    • Take the Surface out of the docking station then put it back in


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
