New Mac Mini M2 Pro, Internet Problems

Go to System Settings > Network > Select your Ethernet Connection > Details > Select Hardware on left > Switch Configure to Manually then ABV/EAV to Off Then OK

Then reboot your machine… simples

Looks totally fixed in 13.2.1 for me.

Can you tell me what other settings you chose in this hardware pane? Speed? Duplex?

Thank you

I've just changed a setting in the network "hardware" pane for my Ethernet connection, and then switched to "configure manually", restarted my machine and now it's loading webpages rapidly.

Beforehand it was extremely slow.

I’m currently working through a return / swap with Apple. Their guidance was that 13.2.1 was meant to resolve this issue

the replacement should turn up today and we will see what happens then …

Same here (mac Mini M2 Pro), on average 30-45% ping failure. Very slow, some times impossible downloads (web page, dmg, etc.). Currently using cURL to download a 12 MB dmg file, it run's around 2.3KB/s (average over 34 minutes…).

Network is unreliable, has abysmal performances. It's a total disgrace for a brand new mac.

I have the issues as well. Mac Mini with M2 Pro 10/16c. My 2.4 GHz works fine, but 5 GHz is terrible. It is slow and laggy, and it occasionally disconnects. Wired works great.

I contacted Apple Support and a Sr. Advisor gathered some logs and took some screenshots and then submitted everything to engineering for further investigation. I tried two different routers and both had same issue with 5 GHz.

My M2 Mac mini pro 32gb 12/19 is having big time ethernet issues. (Web pages load slow3-5 seconds or more), online games have 2-3K ms latency and fortunately my music software isn't affected. Wi-fi works but not fully since I don't have a wi-fi6 router. I have a 1g up/down internet connection and the M1 Mac mini I also own is not suffering any of these issues. tried multiple cables, ports etc. The weird thing is a speed test shows no speed issues. It is just the apps and safari. I can't figure this out. Could there be an ethernet driver issue?

i tend to think software. It occurs across wifi, Ethernet and usb Ethernet. Although I have only tested with one other USB Ethernet. And I admit it is likely there is a common hardware element between these the symptoms do not present themselves at the same time across each device

im currently looking at power save functions which could impact this given I’m running headless

Just received the new Mac mini M2 Pro. Hooked it up and immediately had problems connecting to the Internet. Browser continually froze and when it freed up I was receiving download speeds of 40 Mb/s. My other devices were clocking 500 Mb/s+. I disconnected WiFi and connected the Ethernet cable from a range extender. I instantly got 500 Mb/s+. I did not have to configure anything manually. In my case it seems to be a problem with the WiFi adapter or software controlling it.

What other fixes have you tried?

At this point I encourage you to reach out to Apple Support for additional help.

After the 13.2.1 update I changed back to Auto. The problem with Ethernet has been fixed.

To everyone having internet problems... a question: did you migrate settings from a previous Mac or was your Mac mini setup fresh selecting your ethernet/wi-fi network in Network System Preferences?

Also, did anyone sign in with their existing Apple ID which would have imported old wifi settings stored in one's Apple ID account?
