MacBook Pro M1 Slow internet on Device only. Running MacOs Sonoma

My MacBook Pro M1 is repeatedly showing that my internet is slow running a speed test after I updated to Sonoma. Then I discovered that my iPhone is showing differently, running over 100% of the expected speed results that I should be receiving.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.0

Troubleshooting Slow Mac Wi-Fi:

A few thoughts to try...

I. Clear the Temporary Internet Files:


II. Restart your Router:

  1. Power: off the router
  2. Wait: 30 seconds
  3. Power: It back on


III. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe ModeLogin Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


IV. Try a New Admin User:

What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log into it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your Mac.
