I don't have much to add to Bob's comment. I have ten devices connected to my WiFi, but during the speed test just my computer is using the WiFi. He lives in Australia, so there may be some delays from his responses due to time differences. LaPastenague has more sophisticated measurement tools that I do, so I'm sure he will be posting back as well. Another way to say the same thing.if Ethernet is not working correctly, then WiFi will never be working correctly, so it makes sense to try to get Ethernet working correctly before you tackle wireless issues. Have you assigned different names to the 2.4 GHz network and 5 GHz network? If not, that would be a starting point.įinally, intermittent issues are difficult to resolve, so I will continue to recommend that you verify things using a wired Ethernet try to work on WiFi. So, one question here is whether your Mac is staying connected to the 5 GHz signal or it is alternating connections between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The speed of the 2.4 GHz signal is much slower than the speed of the 5 GHz signal, but 5 GHz only works well when your Mac has line-of-sight to the AirPort Extreme or it is located in very close proximity to the AirPort Extreme. Unless you have assigned different names to the 2.4 GHz signal and 5 GHz signals, your MacBook Pro may be switching between a 2.4 GHz connection and 5 GHz connection. If you are saying that your MacBook Pro does not have an Ethernet port, you can use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter to connect your Mac directly to the modem using a wired connection. An intermittent issue is always difficult to pinpoint as well. A test of an Ethernet connection is much more meaningful when you are trying to figure out speed issues. The problem with trying to test using wireless is that the AirPort Extreme is a dual band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi router.
