Mac Mini internet speed test starts high but ends low My Mac Mini internet speed test starts high at about 200 Mbps but by end of the test ends at about 55 Mbps. All other devices on the network stay at high speeds. Also happens when Mac Mini connected to modem via ethernet. This is not a router so it is the only device on the network. This only happens with the Mac Mini. Mac Mini late 2012 with OS 10.15.7

WiFi question I have a new 2020 iMac. I have a 400mbps WiFi speed account with Charter. Running a Speedtest the iMac shows over 400mbps. THEN an few minutes later the Speedtest shows only 100 or so mbps. I restart the iMac, the Speedtest shows over 400 mbps again. It happens all day. At the very same time, my MacBook, iPad and iPhone are always showing speeds of 400+ Why does this happen to the iMac Thanks

Low TX Rate and Slow internet Speed I have MacBook Air M1 2020, The Wifi Seems have trouble with internet speed. After checked the wifi on my mac the TX Rate just 192 Mbps, Which is very low because I use Wifi 6 Router and connected through 5Ghz connection. my other devices like Android Phone and Windows laptop all can get full internet speed with the same wifi router connected. Just Mac have trouble. Any of you guys have this kind of trouble as well, and maybe have the fix or workaround to make it better. Thank You
