Patrickfun fact anker docking stations are NOT designed to swap the usb cord between computers. ymmv but it landed me in the "usb last connected...." loop. I think i finally resolved it completely unplugging everything from the dock, rebooting the machine, and then making the anker software update/repair the firmware. It finally settled down. GEESH. You'd think that'd be basic functionality that a dock or usb hub might float.
