Wi-fi is laggy. Sometimes it just disconnects. This is not the case on my MacBookPro which has the same updated OS.
I have tried sitting just next to the router. And I have tried disconnecting, time capsule, external hard drives, apple tv, air port extreme I mean shutting of all devices.
Same result. Wi-fi comes and goes. And when it works it's laggy or just slow.
Anyone knows a solution to this? Thank you very much.

Back up all data before making any changes.

If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Reset the System Management Controller.

Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

Honestly there are alot of things that could be causing this.
1. Router
Routers are very subtle and inpersistent. Some routers work better when you are close, but most other routers work best at the edge of the wi-fi signal radius. If you do not know if your router is a close ranged or far ranged router (basically if it works best if you are closer or farther), then you can contact your router distributor.
2. Device
Mac desktops are very diversable devices because the computer has to be plugged and the wi-fi signals can take a while to reach the computer. However, Mac laptops do not meet this problem. Intel Core is very straightforward and does not block wi-fi signals as much. If you want a desktop computer that the wi-fi will work, I suggest you get a Mac Intel Core (or Intel Core 2 Duo) Desktop.
If these did not help you, you could juat contace apple support.

Speaking of "Laggy", hopefully the OP found the solution in the last 2+ years. 😎
