I lately bought an M2 MacBook Professional and the very first thing I seen was that my WI-FI switch price constantly alternates between 1200 Mbps and 286 Mbps. This occurs each 30 – 90 seconds. No different switch charges are reported. It is all the time 1200 or 286.
I even have a 2019 Intel MBP and a 2017 Intel iMac on the community and neither exhibit this conduct. Their speeds fluctuate, however the distinction is minimal (often from 1170 Mbps to 1300 Mbps).
My router is an Orbi RBR850 Wi-Fi 6 with 2 satellites. Nothing has modified within the router’s settings. I do know the M2 has a slower max wifi pace (1200 Mbps for the M2 and 1300 Mbps for the 2019 Intel) however in any other case, I am unsure what’s inflicting the fluctuation in pace. The satellite tv for pc the Macs are related to is inside 6 toes of the desk.
How would I start to troubleshoot this and when trying within the Mac’s log, what kind of entries ought to I filter on?
I am additionally noticing the M2 is reporting noise round 25%. The Intel Macs, which share the identical desk, report 7% noise.
Apple Wi-fi Diagnostics doesn’t report any issues, nor does the Apple {Hardware} Check discover a difficulty at boot up.
Thanks!
