Macbook Pro connection issues with Linksys Velop

My two Macbook Pros (A1502) suddenly stopped working together with my Linksys Velop system (two WHW03v1 nodes in bridge mode).

All other devices in the house works fine with the Velops (incl. iPhones, iPads and a Macbook Air).

I have updated the firmware on the Velop system and Macbooks are also up to date.

The Macbooks connect to the network ok, but there is almost no throughput.

Any ideas what causes this?

Windows, Windows 6

Thank you for the reply.

I did not mention in my original post, that I am running Windows 10 via BootCamp on these two MacBooks. I did not believe this to be important, as I could not get any throughput on the WiFi when booted as macOS either. Whatever the reason was for this, I don't know, but suddenly this worked again...?

Therefore I had to focus my attention at the Windows part. Apparently, the driver for the Broadcom 802.11ac had been updated to version 7.77.110.0, which seem to cause the problem. I reverted to previous version, and I'm back in business...

Hey there Reemloth,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having issues between your Mac computers and Wi-Fi router. I’ll be happy to help.


Go though the steps in this link if your Mac isn’t getting any internet:


If your Mac doesn't connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi


This link has some additional info that can help:


Troubleshoot connecting your Mac to the internet


Also, make sure you have the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router from this link:


Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points


If that doesn’t help, see if this occurs in safe boot or a new user account to isolate and possibly resolve this issue:


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

Let me know if this helps.
