Hi Mike,

Thanks for posting! I am sorry to know that you are having trouble with the Plugable UD-160-A USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station.

Do you see this disconnects on both the USB 2.0 ports on your Acer Aspire 5750-9668 laptop?

Do you have access to another system ? If yes, could you plug the Plugable UD-160-A USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station to it and let us know if you see the disconnects on it too?

Once you post back with this information, we will figure out the next steps.

Thanks for your patience!

Regards,
Roze

I am having the same problem with my UT-160-A device since I purchased it a couple of weeks ago. I’m using it with a Lenovo x220 Tablet and a I-Inc monitor at 1920x1080 res. I thought the problem was created when the monitor was just turned on, but it is now occurring intermittently throughout the day.

Get in touch with support. They will help. My unit was replaced and the new one works perfectly.
