MacBook Pro WiFi reception

Hi. My MacBook Pro gets much poorer mbps compared to my iPad and iPhone when both a located next to each other. Is there anything that might get my MacBook Pro to perform the same as my iPad and iPhone?

Macbook Air M1 wifi issue Hi I have recently purchased Macbook Air M1 and since then I am facing the issue of slow connection with the wi-fi network and even if it connects the signal strength is very low. I see the same problem both at my home wifi network and at office. However it works fine on my iphone and older macbook pro.

Why is my mac struggling to get good wifi speeds when my ipad in the same room gets excellent wifi speeds? I am having trouble with my network speed on my Mac - they are crazily slow. I pay for 500mps Wi-Fi, and seem to be getting 1 mbps only on my Mac. I did the same speed test on my iPad and got excellent speeds. Has anybody got any ideas on this? Cheers, Ewan

Wifi 5 GHz connects to MacBook Pro 11.2.3 but not to 2.4 GHz.. Other devices connect to 2.4 GHz My PC lap top and my iPhone 8 connect to my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. My MacBook Pro will not detect my 2.4 GHz . This happened before. Resetting the modem worked. Now nothing. Many older posts speak of USB hubs. To my knowledge I only have an internal antenna.

Restart the router/modem.
