Do I need to install drivers for this dock?

Troubleshooting

No video output to monitors

Ensure the DisplayPort cables are securely connected to both the dock and the monitors. Verify that the laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Try a different DisplayPort cable or monitor. Restart your laptop.

Laptop not charging when connected to the dock

Confirm that your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery and that the dock's 65W power adapter is properly connected. Check if the laptop's power adapter is also connected; some laptops require their primary adapter for full charging when docked. Ensure the laptop is listed as compatible with 65W charging.

USB devices not recognized or functioning intermittently

Try connecting the USB devices to different ports on the dock. Ensure the devices are compatible and do not require more power than the ports can provide. Restart the dock and your laptop.

Slow or unstable Ethernet connection

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in. Try a different Ethernet cable and port on your router. Check the Wi-Fi Auto Switch setting in the Targus Enterprise Software Suite to ensure it's functioning as expected.

Dock is not recognized by the computer

Disconnect and reconnect the USB-C cable. Try a different USB-C port on your laptop if available. Restart your laptop and the dock. Ensure you have the latest drivers and firmware installed from the Targus website.
