Mac mini M2 Wifi issues (UK)

Purchased a new Mac mini M2 only yesterday and straight away having issues with very slow wifi connection.

To the point where my Download speed is averaging around 6mbps. Upload speed 0mbps.

Using a 2015 MBP where my average speed is 70MBPS.

Hard wired it via the Ethernet and suddenly its back up there.


Anyone (Apple) especially having the same issues and if so....is there a fix?

Mac mini, macOS 14.0

This may look difficult to some but is pretty easy taken step by step...


In Ventura & up, exchange Sys Settings for Sys Prefs...


Convert the following System Preferences to System Settings...


Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...


System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Sys Prefs>Network>highlight the Interface you're using>Advanced>TCP/IP>Configure IPv4: Using DHCP.


If using Wifi, instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


System Preferences>Network>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.


System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
