Slow Fiber Broadband WiFi Speed Improved By Removing USB Hub I recently upgraded from Spectrum cable to a Hunter Communications fiber-optic broadband account. While our M1 MacBook Air tested at over 350Mbps at the same location as a 2018 Intel Mac Mini, the Mini's speed-test results was approximately 1/10th of the MBA download speed. Thanks to the info at the now-closed forum discussion at Mac Mini Slow Internet RESOLVED! - Apple Community , I removed a Sabrent USB hub from the vicinity of the Mac Mini and the Mini's WiFi download speed has doubled. I need to do some more trouble-shooting because the Mini is still too slow. (I tried placing the Mini on its side since its internal WiFi antenna is near the bottom of its case but it does not improve its speed-test results.) But I seem to be on the right track and it gives me hope that I can further improve the Mini's WiFi speed.

Mac mini 5ghz data rate issue - will not maintain data rate with full signal Mac mini M2 Pro will not maintain a 5Ghz data rate. It starts off even slower than expected and it just declines to no data rate between a few minutes to as long as a day. Apple made me return my first Mac Min M2 Pro, and gave me a new one, the EXACT issue was still there out of the box. I have more than 50 computers on my property, many are Apple devices, and none have any issues with my Fiber Optic network. Only the M2 Pro mini.

Mac Studio not connecting via ethernet unless connected directly into Fiber Jack. As you can see my 2022 Mac studio will not connect via ethernet unless plugged directly into fiber jack. All my other devices work via router or switch connection. Studio just won't connect. Any input on fixing this? I ran cat 6 through my basement up to the fiber box since my office is the furthest part of my house.
