Two touch monitors solution!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hub ended up being the perfect low cost solution. I needed to add two HDMI touch monitors, and not only did they display, but the touch worked as well on both.

Thunderbolt
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First things first. A few PSA's for those shopping for a mini-dock. PSA 1: WARNING: Thunderbolt and USB-C are not the same. If your USB-C port does not have a lightning bolt arrow symbol, check your documentation, then it likely will not work with this mini-dock. The Thunderbolt emblem looks like a KISS "S" with an arrow head at the bottom. A quick web search will show you the differences in USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. This mini-dock is Thunderbolt 3. PSA 2: WARNING: IF you have a setup similar to my desk, there is something with the Logitech G Pro Mouse that causes a "power surge" warning to Windows when connected with the wireless configuration. This disables the USB ports on the mini-dock. HDMI continues to work. The wireless configuration is with the dongle or the PowerPlay charging mouse pad. Wired has no issues. PSA 3: WARNING: IF you are using this with Windows laptops, make sure USB host controller drivers are updated. This will save headaches initially, especially if ASMedia is the USB host controller. Now to the review... This mini-dock is a very sturdy build, as expected from a company like Belkin. There is no USB charging pass-through with this dock. You have 2 HDMI( up to 4K), 2 USB ports (2.0 and 3.0) and a Ethernet port. I only have Windows and Chromebooks to test with, sorry Apple fans. After updating my drivers, this dock worked as expected with everything but my G Pro mouse wireless connection. Wired, it worked fine. I suspect a future firmware or driver update will fix this. As a repeat of the PSAs, this is not a USB-C dock. It will show as a unknown device if you try with a non-Thunderbolt 3 port. If you charge your laptop over the USB-C port, it is a better than 50% chance it is a Thunderbolt 3 port. Newer Macbooks should be safe, this is Thunderbolt 3 that looks like a USB-C connector. I tried with one Chromebook and was surprised it worked without issue, the port has the Thunderbolt emblem. Setup is simple. If the USB Host Controller is current drivers, plug in and wait for the device drivers to be found and the generic Thunderbolt drivers install. You are good to go. I dropped a star for a couple reasons. First, it would be nice to have pass-through power. Just a nice to have and was surprised it was not part of it. Second, concerned over device compatibility, concerned may be a strong term. The fact I found a device that causes headaches with what is my preferred mouse. I suspect there could be other devices, but all my backup mice had no issues even the other mice that are wireless dongle connections. Apple fans will love this. Chromebook user should be happy if they have Thunderbolt port. Windows users, after driver checks and updates, will be happy with this also. Belkin has a solid mini-dock offering with a couple of PSAs required.

Useful docking station for newer computers.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station has allowed me to connect an extra 4k monitor to my Macbook Air. It would allow me to connect up to two additional monitors as it has 2 HDMI ports that support dual 4K 60Hz displays. In addition to the monitors it has two USB ports that support a mouse and my external hard drive or whatever peripherals you would need to connect. The last input allows you to connect to a router for high-speed Internet using the Ethernet port. This unit is much smaller than other docking stations I have used in the past and is quite useful for my work set-up. Please note this is only for computers that have a thunderbolt input. You can buy an adapter if your computer does not have the input. This was very easy to set-up. Really just plug and play.

Posted .Hi, Melissa,
The Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Mini HD allows you to connect two 4K monitors to your laptop and use a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals via the USB-A 3.0 and USB-A 2.0 ports. The dock also features a reliable network connection through the gigabit Ethernet port. For isolation, please try to connect the dock on a different laptop, and see if it will work properly.
For further assistance, please share more details at [email protected] with the link to this review for our reference.

Posted .Hi,
This is definitely not the experience we want for our customers. There could be multiple factors that are causing the intermittent connection from the dock. We'd like to have our Product Experts check this out for further isolation and troubleshooting to get the dock working as expected.
Just send us your contact details at [email protected] so that we can escalate your case. Don't forget to include the link to this post as a reference.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
