M1 Max MacBook Pro very slow internet response

I just replaced my old MBP with a new 14" M1 model, running macOS 12 Monterey. It sits in the same place and connects to the same home wifi network. Even after restarts, it will usually take a minute or more to load a web page or update/send mail with Apple Mail. Even when a page loads, it may load incompletely, and links within the page are similarly slow. Often, Safari and Mail will time out due to lack of server response.

I know the problem is with the new MacBook or Monterey, as it was not present on the old one, the wifi settings are the same, and every other Mac and i-device on the home network runs as usual. In fact, I had to move to my iMac in order to connect with Communities just to post this query!

What I'm not certain of is whether I had updated the old MBP to Monterey before I wiped it, reinstalled the OS, and sent it back to Apple in trade for the new one, but I believe I had. If so, the problem is clearly with some aspect of the new MacBook.

Any suggestions?

Hold own the Option key while you click on the Wi-FI Icon on the menubar. This gets you access to Wireless Diagnostics, which can meeker some suggestions. If no joy, screenshot or transcribe the snapshot that appears there. looks like this older one:

also, how many networks do you see?
