100 practical questions from Tenda WiFi Library.
A USB-C dock can charge a Mac while its Ethernet connection remains absent. Power delivery and data access are different functions. If the network service never appears, begin with accessory detection and approval before entering manual IP addresses. Record the dock or adapter model, cable and Mac model. Confirm that the accessory supports the installed macOS version and the intended port. A connector that physically fits does not guarantee every feature or cable capability is suitable.

Discovery, file-sharing protocol support and authentication are separate stages. Identify the failed stage before following instructions that re-enable obsolete protocols. Check its power, connection and supported management interface. Record the exact model and firmware. If the NAS itself is unavailable to every client, begin with its local connection or service state rather than changing one Windows computer.

Moving to 2.5G is most compelling when a frequent transfer actually runs into the existing wired link's capacity. Choose a real job such as copying a video project to a NAS. Record its size and elapsed time with the existing adapter. Keep the same files and destination for the comparison. A synthetic speed result matters less than whether the daily task finishes sooner.

The computer's firmware, operating system and adapter must support waking from the particular power state being tested. Record whether the computer entered sleep, hibernation, a normal shutdown or another manufacturer-defined standby mode. A dark screen is not enough to distinguish them. Microsoft documents different system power states and their Wake on LAN behavior.
