I just upgraded internet to Telstra 5G Home Modem. When I connect my iPad to the modem’s wifi, I’m getting 300-500Mbs internet download speeds. But when I connect my MacBook Pro (2017), it only clock 30-40Mbs download speed. My other MacBook Pro (2013) has the same problem. I’ve checked network utility on Mac which says wifi should be capable of 302.11 a/b/g/n/ac - states link speed of 304.2 MBS
Hi Salple,
Thanks for reaching out using Apple Support Communities. Here to help.
We understand you are seeing varied network download speeds on different MacBooks connected to the same network.
We wanted to provide a few resources which could help isolate causes for these discrepancies.

Some of these suggestions will depend on your router. For example, is this a dual band router? If so, reducing the number of active devices using the same frequency band may reduce interference and improve performance.
You may also wish to speak with your internet provider as they may have specific steps to improve performance across multiple devices on your network.
Hope this helps! Take care for now.
