MacBook Pro 2023 - Slow Wifi when channel changed intermittently

I am using a 14" MBP 2023. I am connected to WiFi (5GHz) all day long.


At 12pm the router will scan for channel with least interference and automatically change it.


After the change, my WiFi will perform very slowly and ping to 1.1.1.1 or even any computers on the network will change from (5-20ms to 300ms).


Known fix: turn off wifi, turn on wifi again


macOS Ventura 13.5


Known issue?


MacBook Pro 14″

The issue may or may not be the Access Point or Router


Especially if it is broadcasting the Wifi Signal using certain types of authentication and encryption
