Question, has anyone else been experience kind of bizarre internet connections since upgrading to macOS Monterey (even if your device in an M1 Mac)! Is it just me, but I really feel as though it has had some issues connecting to certain servers occasionally?
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
What i did isn't that hard. I was having issue wired and wifi. I went to Systems Preferences -> Network. There I added a new location to the default Automatic one. In the new location I selected The advanced button. This gets you to where you can access the DNS settings. In my case I often saw DNS errors on the web page. I made sure that my router is inlcuded in he DNS bying using the +. I also had been using opendns but switched back to google 8.8.8.8. Allis now happy in mac land
My iMac from end of 2015 with Monterey
After my many phone calls with Apple support (and let me say that I'm pleased with the time they took), the problem wasn't solved untill I came across the link below. I configured my network(s) as 2.4 and a 5Ghz. So the original network was named xxxxxx and the second one xxxxxx5 for the 5Ghz one.
I connected my mac to the xxxxxx5 and the wifi speed was up 10-fold.
So, what the cause of the problem is I don't know but for my this was the solution.

Most negative thing about it all was that someone from the helpdesk let me know the possibility that end of 2022 it just might be the last update for the systems produced before 2016. I would detest that from Apple.
Had this issue, slow Internet only helped briefly by a reboot. Finally found a solution that worked for me. Went to System Preferences - Sharing and unchecked Airplay Receiver. Download speed goes from about 350 Mbps to about 470. Toggling this setting on again and my Internet slows. Hope this is helpful to all those struggling with this issue.
After getting stuck with a black screen for an unknown reason, I rebooted, and my wifi speeds improved significantly. Maybe back to previous levels.
Would you mind sharing how you turn off the "send diagnostics to apple" boxes?
Awesome. I tried that and so far so good. Better wifi stability so far.
Having the same issue as well here on a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 running Monterey. Slows down every couple of days and only a re-boot will fix it. Seems to be an OS issue.
Absolutely. I have been using my new M1 Powerbook on Monterey this week.
Last week broadband tests on my 2013 model showed 144mb download.
On this new M1 I get between 3mb-25mb. I'm fuming.
It's Safari too!
just updated to macOS Monterey and found that Wi-Fi is dropping off sometimes and also slow internet as well.
Hi. I tried but unfortunately, even after unlock the pad lock, Share Mac Analytics option is grayed out. I cannot change it.
Hiding my IP address does slow down Safari for me over a wifi - 4G internet router connection immensely..... The browser is not usable and I have to change to the Edge browser or disable "Hide IP".
You are the best!
How do I roll back to Catalina? I never had a problem with that. Monterey is terrible. I have had to switch to my phone in 2 Zoom meetings so far. Embarrassing and very annoying.
It's not a Google Chrome issue; same problem using Firefox.
