M1 Mac mini WiFi problems...

The WiFi connection on my new Mac mini has recently been dropping and when it is working it is much slower than it should be.

At first I thought it was just my local network, but upon testing with several other devices, (iPad pro, iPhone se, and a 2013 MacBook Pro) they all worked flawlessly in the exact same location as the Mac mini.

The WiFi seemed to work for the first few weeks, but it has been getting more and more unreliable.

I have read about other people having trouble with Bluetooth, which I have not experienced.

But the WiFi not working is a major problem.

I hope Apple is a aware of this issue and are working on a solution.

Mac mini, macOS 11.0

It’s nonetheless a weak signal which the mini is more picky about. I would replace your router ASAP. Besides being a more than a decade obsolete (which makes it a security hazard), it also doesn’t support WiFi AC which should bump your WiFi speed by x2-400.
