Most modern laptops dropped the Ethernet port years ago, but wired networking is still essential for reliable video calls, fast file transfers, and low-latency remote work. A docking station with built-in Ethernet gives you a stable wired connection through your single laptop cable. Premium docks offer 2.5 Gbps Ethernet for NAS-speed file access, while budget options include standard 1 Gbps. Compare every Ethernet-equipped dock below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need Ethernet on a docking station?

Wired Ethernet is faster and more reliable than WiFi, and it is essential for video calls, large file transfers, remote desktop sessions, and network-attached storage. Most modern laptops lack an Ethernet port, making a dock the easiest way to add wired networking.

What's the difference between 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet on a dock?

Standard 1 Gbps Ethernet is sufficient for most uses. 2.5 Gbps (found on premium docks like the CalDigit TS4) delivers 2.5x faster wired speeds, which is beneficial for NAS access, large file transfers, and offices with 2.5G switches. Most home routers still max out at 1 Gbps.

Do all docking stations have Ethernet?

No. Compact and budget docks sometimes skip Ethernet to save space and cost. Use the table above to see which docks include Ethernet and at what speed. If wired networking is important to you, filter for it here.
