Reduced 5GHz wifi speeds with USB 3.0.
I have run into an annoying issue and am looking to get some feedback before calling apple support. On my Mac Pro (Late 2013) [cylinder version], the normal wifi speed with my router is 1300/1300 mbps. This is because they are in the same room. I get a very decent wifi through put between a network file share and the computer. However, the wifi speed is reduced by the MacPro to 867/867 (2x2) when a USB 3.0 storage device is plugged into the mac pro. This reduced link speed also reduces the wifi throughput. This problem persisted in OS X 10.10 and was fixed in OS X 10.11 until 10.11.3 update which the problem re-surfaced.
Its easy to replicate the problem, just plug a USB 3.0 storage device to the USB 3 port/hub and the wifi speed drops. So, is anyone else seeing this issue ?
Mac Pro (Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
