I think the external dock is allowed if needed to achieve the necessary connectivity to the required devices and hook up to the network. However, some external docks plugged into the USB-C ports use Thunderbolt protocols and there may be issues. So basic USB to SOMETHING adapters are better. The number of USB ports may also be multiplied by a USB HUB.

Hi Rh,

I have passed the exam. However I faced the flapping issuec with the usb wifi adapter. The best advice use built-in wifi module or USB to Lan Converters.

Hello, I'm going through my compatibility test; however, since I'm not using wired ethernet due to the location of my ethernet outlets, would I still be able to configure my network or I'll have to move to a location with the ethernet adapter?

Trying to configure the network, and I'm unable to turn on the internet on the system because apparently "The ethernet is unplugged". That's the message I'm getting and the button is grayed out.

Wired ethernet is a recommendation (not a requirement) as it provides the best connection estability for the exams.

If your wifi adapter is not recognized (you should see multiple adapters, or an adapter under the Wifi settings), you'll probably need to use the wired connection.

Hope this clarifies.

My laptop microphone does not work . Do we really need microphone to work or we allow to attach external speaker using USB ? 

[Rilindo]

If you look at the video about remote exam, you are allowed to add a microphone and other external audio equipment.

Hi,

Did you already checked the laptop you are using is compatible for the exam ? 

Try and reburn the image and test it once again. 

Also share the screenshot what exactly are you getting while logging in ?

How can i check if my laptop is compatible for the exam ?

It is a Lenovo Think Pad T480. I'm pretty sure it is compatible, but if there's a way to check please let me know how. 

I have tried 3 times, but same result every time. I changed the USB as well but still the same. 

I cannot reach login screen. As soon as i select the USB drive to boot from, it refreshes the screen and the same boot menu appears again.

You must have received an email from exam center for botting the USB. 
Remove everything from the USB.
Then start the procedure again and give it a try.
