MacBook Air M1 WiFi problems

Ever since I’ve bought my Mac Air M1 it has been unable to connect to any WiFi, only my hotspot works. From what I’ve seen this is a pretty widespread problem with the M1 Air and Pro. I have tried every troubleshooting option and nothing works, I have AppleCare, what should I do?

Wifi interface is missing after updating mac OS Monterey Hello all, Surprisingly, I am facing a wifi/Bluetooth interface issue in my MacBook Pro in early 2015 13" inch after updating the system software. The wifi symbol is showing with a '!' mark. Bluetooth is working fine for now. But I can't see any wifi/Bluetooth interfaces to add, minus, or edit in the list. right now I am using the internet via LAN cable. I have found similar articles but with a different OS and MacBook device also. I would like to know the technical aspects behind this issue if possible. I have tried soft reset also. If anybody has any idea on this, please do suggest to resolve the issue. Any suggestion is appreciated. Please find the images inserted. Wifi enable/disable option is greyed out. Wifi/Bluetooth interface is missing in the list Wifi interface missing - Apple Community https://www.lifewire.com/reset-network-settings-on-mac-5184072 Thank you.

Mac Mini internet speeds faster than M1 Mac Studio (both ethernet and WiFi) I've been running speed tests on my M1 Mac Studio (64 GB memory and 4TB ssd) and my Mac Mini (late 2014) and there is a significant difference in download speeds both with WiFi and Ethernet. Mac Mini download speeds: WiFi - 239Mbps; Ethernet 239 Mbps (little variability from test to test) M1 Mac Studio download speeds: Wifi - 160 to 211 Mbps; Ethernet - 60 to 88 Mbps (speeds vary significantly from test to test) Even more surprising is the fact that WiFi downloads are more than twice as fast as ethernet! This has been the situation ever since I received my Mac Studio in August. I have done a clean install of Ventura and I am using Cat 7 ethernet cables with no improvement. I believe there is something wrong with the M1 Macs that Apple needs to fix.

If you have apple care, you should take it to the Apple store to have a look. It seems to be a widespread issue, may have to do a replacement or bear with it until a patch comes out.
