-dell k17a
-Driver 10.5.919.2015 realtek USB GbE - NETWORK Driver
-Latitude 5280
-Firmware 1.6.4

-Found a forum post in the Dell support forums about TB16 docking stations not getting full speed, showing them connected at 1 gig but on a 250 mbps ISP connection toping at 83 mbps.
-There was suggestion of updating the ethernet firmware to Version 1.2.0.2, A00
-I checkd the firmware I used and it was FW_UPGRADE_UTILITY_WD15_V1_2_0_3_ZPE
-The forum was showing to use FW_UPGRADE_UTILITY_WD15_V1_2_0_2_ZPE.exe
-Went and updated the firmware on this laptops K17A but still no luck
-Showing 1 gig connection but only getting 8mbps/8mbps on a 80 mbps fiber connect
-Move cable over to the laptop ethernet bypassing the docking station and get full 80mbps
