Gaming in my Rivian. M3 Max MBP 16 vs. 2022 Asus Zephyrs G14. “Lies of P” and “Elden Ring”.

Please post your Option Wi-Fi snapshot of current operating conditions, like this older one:

If you were connecting to the Internet through a High speed CABLE whose specs such as length, crosstalk and impedance were well controlled, using high quality standard cables such a Category 5 or Category 6, you MIGHT be able to says something about Apple hardware.

You are instead Broadcasting your signal over the air using radio signals, using channels that are open and Shared. EVERYTHING about its performance depends on exactly what else is around you -- your neighbors' Router sgnals WILL have profound impact on your Wi-Fi performance. Setting this up properly so as not to DIRECTLY clash with your neighbors data is essential. "It depends on your 'network neighborhood'".

It also depends on how far away your Router is from the computer, because radio signals drops off as the inverse CUBE of the distance, as the radio signal propagates in three dimensions.

Also, any construction materials or natural landscape items might be attenuating the signals.

Example: My home is solid masonry construction. I have determined experimentally that the attenuation of Wi-Fi signals when passing through a four-foot-think brick chimney makes the resulting signal unusable.

So this is NOT an Apple hardware issue, unless/until you are willing to do some troubleshooting to demonstrate that it is. This is also not competition from YOUR devices, because the Router polls each device in turn.

These are fellow user supported communities. Apple, Apple Support, and Apple product teams are not here.

This is a multiple equations and multiple unknowns problem that cannot be solved in this community. The majority of us do not have access to the specific vehicle, computers, network configuration, or proximity to that cell tower to test.

Or this Wi-Fi 6E hotspot connection to my M2 Mini Pro from my NetGear Nighthawk M6 (MR6550) Pro with 3-bars of Mint Mobile 5G signal:

I am 1 mile down hill through homes and trees from the cell tower.
