16" MacBook Pro WIFI Slow Speed Test My new Intel 16" MacBook Pro shows on speed test that it is connected to the internet at 20MBS on wifi instead of the 45MBS plan I have from uVerse. The 16"is on the latest BigSur version. If I connect using a wired connection it shows the speed as 45MBS. I have 2 other MacBook Pros on Big Sur, an iPhone and an iPad and they all connect on wifi @ 45MBS. Why would the new 16" MacBook not connect at 45MBS on wifi while my other stuff will connect @ 45MBS"? Is there some sort of issue with the wifi in the 16" MacBook's?

Slow WiFi on iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) I am getting download speeds of around 05Mbps on my iMac via WiFi. There are two other Windows computers further away from the router getting speeds of ~25Mbps. Why is this happening? Even before the lockdown, I was still getting consistently around the same internet speeds. The router is located in the room below mine, and someone on Reddit said this is why, but I don't think so. Time of day would make no change in speed before and after lockdown.

Low TX Rate and Slow internet Speed I have MacBook Air M1 2020, The Wifi Seems have trouble with internet speed. After checked the wifi on my mac the TX Rate just 192 Mbps, Which is very low because I use Wifi 6 Router and connected through 5Ghz connection. my other devices like Android Phone and Windows laptop all can get full internet speed with the same wifi router connected. Just Mac have trouble. Any of you guys have this kind of trouble as well, and maybe have the fix or workaround to make it better. Thank You

What do you mean by "display"? What exactly are you seeing? What are you expecting to see but not?

Buffering (beach balling) is an indication your Mac has bogged down for some reason. What are you trying to do?
