Very Slow WiFi on new MacBook Pro 13" w/ touchbar

Hello there,

I have a new MacBook Pro 13" with touch bar and the wifi is slow. I have 2 other mac's on the same wireless network and they run faster wifi. Here are some numbers,

IMac (2014) wifi download speeds 350 megs

Macbook 2015 wifi download speeds 100megs

Macbook pro 2016 13" with touch bar wifi download speed 2-14 meg

I talked to apple support a week or so ago and they couldn't find any issues when they did a diagnostic and said it was probably my network and it would most likely need a firmware update. I was running a Linksys WRT1900AC so it was a relatively new wireless router and it had the latest firmware.

This also didn't explain why my iMac and MacBook have faster speeds (still not sure why the IMac is so much faster than the new laptops)

To test the theory of the network they suggested i take the laptop to the Apple store and go on that network and see if there is a slowdown. There i tested 5 machines (all new MacBook pro's). the store machines got between 13-18 megs and my MacBook pro got about 10. so it wasn't too conclusive since the speeds are so much slower.

So i went out this weekend and brought a brand new Linksys Velop triband router and set it up and reran the tests.

The iMac was about the same.

the MacBook was now 180 meg

MacBook pro was 90-100 meg.

Can anyone tell me why such a big difference on these machines? shouldn't the MacBook pro have the fastest speed?

When testing i took all other devices off of the network and ran the tests individually on each machine. so there was no interference of other devices.

Also the testing all took place at the same desk. So location is not a factor.

All 3 machines are running the latest versions of OS

Any help would be appreciated 🙂 do i need to contact apple again to have the wifi replaced?

thanks
