Very slow connecting!

[cheddar-caveman]

We've just upgraded to BT Infinity and gone from HomeHub 3 to a HomeHub 5. Since then my 2013 MBP Retina takes up to a minute to connect to the WiFi. Nobody else in the house has this problem. Any suggestions what might be the problem and how to resolve it please?
When it is connected it's FAST! Were no recording 36+Mb/s download speed and 9+Mb/s upload so well pleased.

Try this: open the Network system preferences pane, navigate to the list of networks you've ever joined, and clear out all but the one or two you routinely join. Delete your old network if it is there, and make a new one for all this new equipment (which probably has a new MAC address, which could be the reason for the delay). Restart. See if that helps.

May well be ll to do with Bluetooth. Have a read of this link and removing the .plist file seems to improve connectivity:-

Ah, that seems to have sorted it! Thanks chas_m!
Thanks also harryb2448 for taking the trouble to answer.
