Can I delete Monterey and go back? wifi issues

Ever since I installed Monterey on my MacBook I've had wifi issues. Can I go back to the previous OS or am I stuck with Monterey now?

If your MacBook Pro came with Monterey preinstalled, you can't downgrade macOS.

In case it did not, use your TimeMachine backup to install the previous version:

Instead of going Back to previous version of macOS - why not work through the existing issue.


Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points



1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


4 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then this appears to be a System Wide issue.


5 - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.


The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).


It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.


 The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information. 


Post back the Full Report - copy and paste - using the Additional Text Icon ( 3rd Icon to last )


We can have a look at the report for possible issues and may have possible suggestions to resolve the issues.
