7.3 M0 performance
 

I wonder what's your experience with the latest Windows driver (7.3 M0).
I'm planning a relatively large deployment (on app. 50 PCs) and would like to hear if others experienced major issues with the newest driver.

I've installed 7.3 M0 this morning on my PC and must admit that it works better than version 7.2 M1. 'Mouse lag' issue has apparently gone. I initiated network transmission (using LAN SpeedTest Light) and playback 2 video files at the same time - and the performance was quite smooth. So far so good...

My setup is:

Dell Latitude e6320 with USB2.0 only ports
Windows 7, 64-bit edition

7.3 m0
 

I am not sure I can even install 7.3?

I have downloaded and ran the exe file, but driver details still says version 7.2.47873 dated 9/5/13.

Any ideas on why this hasn't updated to 7.3?

Thanks

Maybe not...

Looks like the ethernet and audio drivers are 7.3, only the USB display controller still at 7.2.

Will see how it performs and let you know. I have had terrible issues with ethernet connections with earlier versions, so hopefully this fixes it.

Strange.

I uninstalled previous drivers (7.2 M1) manually, reboot the machine and then installed version 7.3 M0. It all went quite smoothly.

Yes - this keeps coming up. The USB driver is only a very small part of our software. It only sends USB data to our chip and does not need updating very often. As it is signed by Microsoft, the version number can stay the same between releases.

You should always look at the core software version in Programs, not the USB driver version in device manager. This will not give you the full story about which version you have installed.

Network issues 7.3M0
 

Since installing version 7.3 a couple of days ago, now my network connectivity has gone down the drain. My computer loses connection about 10 times per hour to the point that it is almost unusable.
This is definitely the dock, as I can disconnect and use my wifi without issue, as well as 6 other computers on the network all operating fine.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? Network connectivity has never been strong on this dock anyway, but now its 10x worse.

Setup:
Toshiba Dynadock USB3
7.3M0 drivers
Samsung series 9, Win 8 x64

Any ideas on what I can try? I uninstalled the old drivers before installing 7.3

Very strange.
I'm using Win7 64-bit with USB2.0 connection and network performance is good with latest 7.3M0 drivers.
I've done some LAN speed tests using free LAN SpeedTest (Lite) tool. When transferring 1GB file I've got consistent 86 Mbps writing and 88 MBps reading speed.
