New Mac Mini M2 has constant issues with wifi. Its unusable. Ethernet works perfectly, but when using wifi the connection will consistently drop packets. Wifi works perfectly with older Mac mini M1, MacBook Pro, Intel Mac in the same small office. I have turned off all other devices and still have same issue. Did a factory reset and same issues.
Mac mini (2023 with M2)
**Solution discovered** (but Mac MUST release a fix for this soon. Very unhappy with my new Mac Mini M2 Pro.)
it is a problem with Wi-Fi 6 routers that combine all the bands under one SSID (Wi-Fi name).
If you have Spectrum, their “smart” router doesn’t have the function to separate the bands and therefore will NOT work. You need to get another router and the bands have to be named separately as others have said in the posts.
this is an issue that shouldn’t be an issue, and I’m surprised no fix has come for this yet so regular people don’t have to become network professionals to get their internet to work!
Sure will, it’ll probably be another day or two yet before I see anything.
Is the HDMI port issue a reason for a hardware exchange? Any experiences?
@Geordiekeith, why do you think that new ones are different? Are new Mac mini's M2 pro not having this issue?

Apple is contacting people with a Mac mini? Is that true?
👍
Exellent! :) 👍
UNII-3 are not DFS Channels. M2 cannot connect them.
I dont have any mac Studio. So far, it only happens to our M2 laptops(some).
That's what I've been reading also‽
Your English is pretty darn good! :)
That is a good point. The power consumption and deployment.
It would explain why the M2 Studio does not have the issue. Different power supply and probably different power deployment.
Well said.
I have exactly the same issue and have been using a mxtherfxxking long Ethernet cable for months. The only problem is that it’s a headless server.
I use airdrop everyday and it is very unstable on my Mac mini M2 Pro. Small files will take minutes to send. Something is wrong and needs a fix.
