I've just started using DisplayLink today, and although I like it a lot when it's working, I keep having a problem that the connection between my iPad and the PC resets. When this happens the screens go blank for a moment, then the iPad goes back to the screen where I need to choose the PC to connect to. This seems to happen roughly every 30 to 45 minutes, although I haven't kept careful track.

What's even more annoying than loosing the connection and the blanking screen is that my windows on the iPad screen also reset their position to the main monitor, so when I restore the connection I need to rearrange them all again.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? Any tips to avoid it?

Also, it would be great if DisplayLink had an option to drive the display over the USB port instead of wifi. I keep my iPad connected anyway, to keep it charged up, so hopefully USB would provide more bandwidth and/or stability.
