Since problems of this sort were not encountered, MPG did not install the driver. OWC states that it prevents loss of internet connection under certain situations, perhaps when rebooting and that it is not performance related. Performance was excellent with the OWC USB-C Dock gigabit ethernet port, reaching peak gigabit speeds.Īlthough there is a download for an ethernet driver on the sales page for the USB-C Dock, MPG did not install this driver. This would have taken all day with WiFi, but it took only about an hour over gigabit ethernet. MPG transferred about 240GB over the network.
