[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1931226, member: 190607"] macOS has wireless diagnostic capabilities built in. Hold down the option key and click on the WiFi icon in the menu bar, then select "Open Wireless Diagnostics...". Go to the Window menu and choose Scan. The report will give you the Best 2.4 Ghz and the Best 5 bGhz channel. Once you have those, log into your router (entering (bad link removed) into your web browser will probably work) poke around in WiFi settings and figure out how to change the channel. Here is an Apple Document setting out how to investigate and solve WiFi issues on a Mac. [URL='https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202222']How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity[/URL] Scroll down to: "Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow" If none of the above works for you, you can scan your immediate WiFi environment and find the best placement for your Mac and other wireless devices with: iStumbler ($15) [URL unfurl="true"]https://istumbler.net/labs/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
