Wi-Fi speed for mac book pro 16

[lu31]

Hello,
I plan to buy a MBP 16 soon,
I read some threads of people having some low Wi-Fi speed,
significantly worse than what they had with older laptops in the
same conditions , and connection drops solved by turning off
and on the Wi-Fi.
Is it just a few particular cases ?
Do the majority of the MBP 16 have the expected ~ 800 MBit/s speed
wihtout connection loss close to a good router ? (as measured by the notebookcheck website, which, by the way noticed some connection inconsistency)

thanks in advance

I didn't notice any reduction in performance from earlier 15" to the 16". I am getting 800-1000Mbps 5-6 meters away from a Uniquity Dream Machine router. It was the same with my previous Synology RT2600ac

I'm getting 1300Mbps between my 16" and an Apple Time Capsule (final gen) from about 5 metres

Totally off subject, but what do you of the Dream Machine and is this a Dream Machine Pro. I am eyeing one of those.

I have the non-pro version. I bought it since I was having some random issues with the Synology rt2600 (it’s a damn fast router though) and I have heard that ubiquity was prioritizing stability and security. I initially wanted a wired router, but the Dream Machine was the only ubiquity product within my price range that could handle gigabit internet.

I’m very impressed by the configurability of the system and the reporting functions are also neat. You can see that it’s very prosumer-oriented. Performance is decent, but not better than Synology. It’s definitely more stable though. I do think the Dream Machine is a bit too expensive for what it offers.

So no issues with getting the full gigabit speed? We have Xfinity 1 Gbps down, 50 Mbps up

Speed test shows around 900Mbps up/down, and that with all the fancy anti-hacking features enabled. I don’t think it can get any faster with my provider.
