Q: New Macbook receive bad wifi signal
I got the new macbook two months ago, since it's new, it receive bad wifi signal.
By that I mean, the signal bar is full but cannot open a webpage. If I reconnect it, it will work but within few minutes, it won't open anything again.
I know the signal in my room is bad, but in the same condition, my IPad works perfectly and my old macbook pro works perfectly. Is that mean the new macbook uses bad wifi receiver??? In that case, Apple should sell this macbook for this price.
I called the apple expert but did not help anything.
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

Lexiepex is right in suggesting that you gather some information about the WiFi signal strength and share it with us.
For a lot more information including some guidance in interpreting the numbers you get from the option (alt) menubar icon, you could read this rather lengthy support article: Use Wireless Diagnostics to help you resolve Wi-Fi issues on your Mac - Apple Support
These (below) are most of the Wireless Best Practices that come at the end of the diagnostic testing. The missing one is Configure Your Network to Use a Unique Network Name.
You didn't mention what sort of router you are using. That might be helpful information.
