Windows 10: Windows 11 Laptop BSoD About 30 Seconds After Connecting To Ethernet Via Thunderbolt Dock

I seem to have a strange issue that I can find any mention of anywhere. I have a Dell XPS 17 with Windows 11 and a Wavlink Thunderbolt Dock with an ethernet port.Whenever I connect an ethernet cable, it seems to work perfectly fine and I can even use the internet with it. But every time without fail, after about 30 seconds to a minute the internet stops working and it starts to flicker between ethernet and wifi, the CPU usage spikes to 100%, and then it eventually crashes and shows the blue screen of death.This has been the case for the almost one year since I got the dock and ran the ethernet

Dell Thunderbolt Dock

Update: Received the WD15 dock yesterday (USB-C, but no Thunderbolt). Works like a charm with the Logitech receiver plugged into the dock. Now I can plug a single cable into the laptop for everything to work (ethernet, monitor via HDMI, dictation microphone, Logitech receiver, etc.). Will be sending the Thunderbolt dock back to Dell for a refund.
