Having problems connecting to the network on Windows 11
Please let me know if you have seen this problem as well. Running Windows 11 on a Dell Latitude 5520 docking station. There is a problem with the network connection. I'll have the ethernet connection symbol, then it will go to Wi-Fi then it goes to the World (disconnected) symbol.
Here's the thing, my network connection is still working. I can still chat on Teams, still get to websites, still receive email. But it blips in and out while I have the world symbol.
I've rebuilt my machine, I've updated firmware on everything including the dock. I'm on a different computer entirely with a fresh build, even tried a different docking station and it still happens.
At this point, I don't know if it's a Windows 11 bug or a Dell driver issue, but it's beyond annoying.
For now, I've unplugged the ethernet port of the dock so I can keep going without interruption, but would love to get this fixed permanently.
Anyone else see this?

Hi
I don't have THE answer, but I would look at the Router/Modem and allocate/assign a FIXED address for each device according to its MAC address, IP 192.168.X.101 and 192.168.X.202.
Then in theory both can communicate with the Router simultaneously.
AND as long a Lease Time as you can.
