Wifi suddenly slow until reboot mac Hi everyone. I have a MBP mid 2019 and I am experiencing a problem with the wifi. When connected to my home wifi network, it usually works fine at around 50-60 Mbps, but sometimes (3 or 4 times a day) the connection suddenly becomes terribly slow (<1 Mbps) even if I still have maximum signal, and it won't improve until I reboot the Mac. Rebooting the router or closing all other applications won't solve the problem. It only does that with my home connection, and other devices work just fine. My wifi specs during those slow moments is as follow.

Wifi issues Hello. I have a macbook pro produced in 2018. I am having issues with wifi. I can not connect to the wifi router in the morning unless I restart the laptop. The diagnostic is just saying to check the router (put the router near by the laptop, or restart the laptop). I tried all the possible solutions (removing network preferences, turning off the bluetooth etc.), but nothing has worked. You might think that maybe the problem is working with the routuer, but rest of my devices (my iPhone, my Tablets) are working well without restarting.

Wifi Connection Failing I’m having troubles with the wifi connection on my Macbook Pro M-1 2020 computer. It keeps disconnecting from my house wifi sporadically, meanwhile my iPhone wifi is working perfectly fine. Please help 😭, it’s getting annoying having to re click over and over again. A little fyi, I’ve already disconnected and reconnected the internet connection and I’ve renewed the DHCP lease a couple times already and nothing has worked.

Please read Use Wireless Diagnostics on your Mac - Apple Support. Perhaps it will have something useful to suggest.

It's possible the wireless environment near your router is subject to more interference than elsewhere but that's obviously speculation on my part. Run Wireless Diagnostics in different locations.
