I have 1 gig internet. Running ookla, my iPhone gets over 1 gig, my iPad gets 900, but my MacBook Air only get between 500-600. Router/modem is 1 gig capable. Any ideas why my MacBook is so slow? Maybe a setting on it?
Thanks.
Two sets of data: the first is the hardware and software inventory, and the second is a Wi-Fi overview.
Please download and run (free) EtreCheck, and share the results to the clipboard. Then open a new reply here, and press the Additional Text button that looks like a printed page, and paste and post the hardware and software configuration report here. From that, we can get a little more detail about what is installed and what is running here.
On Mac, the basic Wi-Fi environment characteristics are visible when using Option-Click on the Wi-Fi logo 🛜 in the menu bar to capture some Wi-Fi network data.
For us to look at the Wi-Fi network data here, post the items shown in the Wi-Fi display including the Security mode and from Channel to NSS inclusive (Security, Channel, Country, RSSI, Noise, Tx Rate, PHY mode, MCS, NSS) (without posting the Wi-Fi address, any local HotSpots that might be present, the network name, or the BSSID), and we can take a look at the basic network environment. You can the screenshot as necessary.
if there are any “coffee shop” VPNs installed, remove all, restart, and test again.

Tried, but can't figure it all out. It does seem I have a lot of apps installed, so will delete many of them. Thanks for what to try.
