    Best Wi-Fi system? Mesh or wired APs?

    If you know you need to cover your home with multiple Wi-Fi access points, what is the best Wi-Fi system? I am asking for a client. I would personally install a Ubiquiti system with wired backhauls to the internet gateway, but that might be more expensive than what my client would like to pay...

    Wi-Fi Jitter, Erratic Ping, Latency Due To AWDL (AirDrop/AirPlay)

    I have noticed that Wi-Fi on macOS Ventura has high jitter. This affects any real-time application. It is common for latency (ping) to spike to spike from a normal 2-10ms to nearly 200ms. This has happened in 13.0 and now 13.1. The only fix so far has been to disable AWDL; which is used by...

    Storage of Wi-Fi passwords in local keychain necessary?

    I did a clean install of Monterey from a USB flash drive. The Mac needs to be online during the installation (not only for the initial activation of the device), so I connected it to a Wi-Fi. During the setup (after the "Hello screen") I skipped the Wi-Fi configuration. I still have a Wi-Fi in...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro (2020) kills Wi-Fi

    We bought an iPad Pro 2020 (11") a few months back. At first, it constantly killed off our Wi-fi and we had to restart our router (TP Link TD-W9980). I turned off all the automatic uploads to iCloud and background app refresh. It was stable for some time, but now if I watch youtube on it for too...

    Spontaneous Wi-Fi to Cell Data Switching

    Hey everyone, I've been an iPhone 11 Pro Max owner since April and am wondering if this is a widespread issue or perhaps it's a defect in hardware. I've noticed as of late that my phone will bounce to cell data while in a perfectly functional Wi-Fi network at home. I'm running iOS 13.5.1, and...

    Finder in Catalina is less stable than other previous OS?

    I have the impression that Finder in Catalina is less stable that what it was with previous OS. I'm having some tedious issues but all them seem to have Finder in common. Some examples: - Finder / Network, looking for 2 different machines (Imac + Imac + MacBookPro 16"), all connected to the...

    No connectivity after wake

    Since upgrading my router (it's my ISP's standard, nothing fancy), every time I open my MBP's lid, I can see it connected to my Wi-Fi, but there's no internet access. The workaround is pretty simple, turn Wi-Fi off and then right back on. But it's getting old fast. I've been trying to find out...

    AirPort Extreme Booting Users

    My office uses an AirPort Extreme for our WiFi network. We've been having problems for months. At first, it was simply dropping altogether. No one could access it. No one could even find it. It was still solid green status light. Now, it boots users from the network, requests a new...
