PRODUCT INFORMATION | |
| What is the Belkin Dock Utility? | The Belkin Dock Utility is a userland software utility that allows a compatible Belkin ethernet dongle adapter or Hub with a compatible network adapter to take advantage of existing MAC addresses on an existing computer that may be whitelisted on a network, to be used by the Belkin adapter for the purpose of conforming to the safety practices of said network.

SOFTWARE INFORMATION | |
| What are the features of the Belkin Dock Utility? | Learn more. |
| What is MAC address pass-through support? | MAPT support is useful when some networks look for a specific MAC address to allow access to the network. MAPT allows the MAC address of your computer to pass through the Belkin Dock to gain that access. This is also known as MAC ID Cloning. |
| What is a MAC address? | A MAC address is the unique identifier of any system on a network. Every active device that connects to a network has a unique MAC address given to it. |
| How does Standby support work? | Standby support works by automatically resetting the docks/hubs to default when they are disconnected. |
COMPATIBILITY | |

| Does the software work with Windows? | Yes. It supports Windows 10 and 11. |
| Does the software work with macOS®? | Yes. It supports macOS Ventura or later. |
FUNCTIONALITY | |
| How do I download and install the software? | To do this, download the Belkin Dock Utility software to the computer where you will perform the installation. Run the file, and follow the on-screen instructions. The process is very straightforward and will not require any additional intervention. Once the installation process is complete, make sure to reboot the computer so that the changes can take place. |
| How do I use the software? | The software will launch when you turn ON your computer and will run in the background. When you plug your system into a compatible Belkin Dock, it will start the MAPT. |
| What is WiFi auto-switch? | This feature within the software prioritizes the ethernet connection over the WiFi connection when the computer's ethernet is connected to a compatible Belkin device. WiFi will resume normal function when the computer is removed from the Belkin Dock. |
| How do I know if the software is working? | The Belkin Dock Utility icon in the system tray will be green when a compatible dock is connected and the MAPT option is enabled, indicating the Pass Through feature is active. If the icon is grey, it means that a compatible dock is not detected. |
| What happens if I close the software on my computer? | If you close the software on the computer, the dock will stop passing the system's MAC address and any access to your network that requires your system's MAC address will be restricted. |
