Macbook Air M1 wifi issue

Hi I have recently purchased Macbook Air M1 and since then I am facing the issue of slow connection with the wi-fi network and even if it connects the signal strength is very low.


I see the same problem both at my home wifi network and at office. However it works fine on my iphone and older macbook pro.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Troubleshooting Mac Wi-Fi:

A few thoughts to try...

I. Clear the Temporary Internet Files:


II. Restart your Router:

  1. Power: off the router
  2. Wait: 30 seconds
  3. Power: It back on


III. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe ModeLogin Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


IV. Try a New Admin User:

What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log into it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your Mac.
