Unable to Switch from Wireless to Ethernet When Docked

You may be unable to switch between Wireless and Ethernet network connection automatically when you dock your system. The on board Ethernet connection works as well as the Wireless network connection. After the system is docked the Wireless network connection remains on instead of switching to the Ethernet connection of the docking station. Manually switching (FN + PrtScr) does not disable the Wireless connection and after disabling Wireless manually the system will reconnect to the Wireless network even while docked.

This has been reported on the following models:

  • Latitude 3470
  • Latitude 3570
  • Latitude E5270
  • Latitude E5470
  • Latitude E5570
  • Latitude E7270
  • Latitude E7470
  • Precision 3510
  • Precision 7510
  • Precision 7710
