I would really like to know why the docking station slows down my network speed.

According to page 7 of the manual for your laptop -->
https://dl.dell.com/content/manual20...language=en-us
Your laptop has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on the left side of the computer.
Your laptop has one USB 2.0 port on the right side of the computer.
If your docking station is connected to the USB 2.0 port, it would impact the performance of the network adapter.
If you have not already done so, please ensure that the dock is connected to one of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on the left side of the computer.
