A6210 docking station cable length

Hello,

 

Before buying the A6210 I would like to know what is the USB3.0 cable length of the docking station ?

 

Thanks and regards.

Hi, forgot to say, don't forget to dlwonload the latest driver for this, and don't bother with the A6210 genie detection, windows picks it up anway once the driver is installed and it is plugged in. Check your advanced settings, and enable Multimedia & Gaming mode in device manager properties, and possibly disable the sleep mode. Another tip: if installing on to a laptop (like I was) and you already have an active/working WiFi device internally, you will need to disable theat one, in Device Manage, before you can use this external one. Install the latest driver BEFORE plugging it in.

Hi, I just got mine today, and the USB cable lenght is 82cm to the device. It is really good, and I get 92 - 99% signal quality (at 300mbps) with my router on the far wall of the garage, so it is much better then the built in one in the laptop.
