MacBook Air M2 slow Wifi

I am using a brand new MacBook Air M2 running Ventura 13.3. Unfortunately the wifi performance is slow compared to my 10 years old iMac21. Below you see the benchmarks of the two Macs standing next to each other. The 10 years old iMac has significant higher bandwidth and the latency is 10x lower (28 ms vs 3 ms).

Needless to say I am really disappointed.

Anyone who can point at a solution? Thanks!

After restarting the router I managed to get the MacBook Air to switch channel:

Which improved the bandwidth and latency.
