Brand new M2 256gb 8gb Macbook Air - is showing a lagging experience and sometimes disconnects (will not re-connect) while using Pokerstars - other than that not as peppy as prev Macbook. Anyone have a solution - this machine is wifi connected to Apple Extreme Router but not current vintage. We have a Rogers modem showing 5G so wonder if that level might be a solution?

I have a solution finally - it was the Modem from the ISP that was the choke point - only allowing 140MB download via Wifi. Their solution was upgrade to IP cable TV (new level of wifi "ac") so I swapped out a very old hard wired Apple Extreme router (same wifi speed) and hard wired a Gen 6 Airport Extreme that broadcasted in a 500MB download wifi signal. Poker is showing 100% connection now.

The Wifi is solid - issue has only started since upgrade and transfer from Macbook Retina to new M2 Air. We used Migration Assistant and now issue is present - it was not present on MB Retina. I have added a New User and we are trying this to see if the lagging continues. If we find it a better solution I will Time Machine the MB Air and then re-install OS then return Time MAchine backup.
