Slow WiFi connection

I have iMac 27" 2017 and over WiFi it shows ~ 60MBit/s... on the same Wifi Network my new MBP 2019 (i9, 1TB, 32GBRAM) shows ~280MBit/s.

Is that a fundamental feature of an iMac or it can be fixed ?

P.S.: deleting network settings, setting DNS to 8.8.8.8 and MTU to 1453 only brings +2MBit/s....

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.15

Slow WiFi on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) I am getting download speeds of around 05Mbps on my iMac via WiFi. There are two other Windows computers further away from the router getting speeds of ~25Mbps. Why is this happening? Even before the lockdown, I was still getting consistently around the same internet speeds. The router is located in the room below mine, and someone on Reddit said this is why, but I don't think so. Time of day would make no change in speed before and after lockdown.

16" MacBook Pro WIFI Slow Speed Test My new Intel 16" MacBook Pro shows on speed test that it is connected to the internet at 20MBS on wifi instead of the 45MBS plan I have from uVerse. The 16"is on the latest BigSur version. If I connect using a wired connection it shows the speed as 45MBS. I have 2 other MacBook Pros on Big Sur, an iPhone and an iPad and they all connect on wifi @ 45MBS. Why would the new 16" MacBook not connect at 45MBS on wifi while my other stuff will connect @ 45MBS"? Is there some sort of issue with the wifi in the 16" MacBook's?
