Internet issues on Monterey

I also have been experiencing severe slow wifi connectivity on my iMac running Monterey. All other devices in my house (2011 MacBook Pro, 2020 iPad Mini, 2014 iPad Pro, Asus Chromebook, cellphones, Acer laptop running Linux, Samsung Roku Smart TV) are all running at top internet speeds via wifi. Getting anywhere from 50-60 mbps download/upload speeds. My iMac gets 1/2 those speeds if I am lucky. I held off on upgrading to Monterey as I had some audio production software that was not compatible initially. Once I got the green light, I went for it. Well, everything was working fine until I did so. At 1st I thought there was an issue with my router...that perhaps the transmitter wasn't working so my ISP sent me a new one. That was not the issue. I have tried every fix mentioned here and am still getting horrible internet performance on my iMac.

Has Apple even addressed this issue? Are there any plans on a bug fix with the next update? Has any Apple rep commented on this at all?

Any Apple Techs care to replay here? Or are we out in the cold? Paying thousands of $$$ for a piece of hardware/software should warrant some attention. Not one single mention from Apple about this issue.

There was a time when Apple Care actually..cared. Now the phone support is riddled with nothing more than a poorly paraded set of "solutions" that seem more like a list of "Ummm...try this then" instead of viable solutions. PRAM resets, unplug and plug back in, restart, login/logout..all "fixes" that every Mac user has more than likely tried before even contacting Apple support. Follow up ticket case #s with no follow up, When a solution isn't reached, you can expect the ever popular "Let me transfer you over to so and so" and the cycle starts over again. I used to pick up issues of PC magazine just to read about all the headaches that PC users were dealing with and being glad that I had a Mac. Now it feels as though Apple has gone the way of Windoze.

Get it together Apple.

FWIW, I've been testing Monterey for about 5 months on three different Macs. I've had no connection issues. All three are basically on 24/7. It does seem like it's something local to your machine.

I have also installed Monterey and so far everything is working just fine. Maybe a little bit faster, or so it seems.

Thanks this worked for me

No issues on Mac Mini M1 or BMA M1 both upgraded from Big Sur 11.6.1 to Monterey 12.0.1. Actually somewhat faster too.

An update from me, after about 3 days of restarting, it magically fixed itself. It is now working beautifully on all machines.

How many days have your Macs running Monterey been trouble-free? For me it's been happening once every 24 to 48 hours, so I'd still be on the lookout if it's only been one or two days...

My wife and I have two recent iMacs and both are running Monterey with no problems.

If you're interested in a good adblocker that does not interfere with Safari's performance give Ghostery a try. You can get it at the App Store for free.

It is not a network or router issue. The issue is definately in Monterey after the upgrade.

Not really sure if a beta release is the best solution.
