For the last two betas I've been noticing all wifi networks are moving fairly slowly. Videos take a while to play and buffer a lot, websites load slowly, email takes a long time to pull in. I don't fault the networks as they do not house a lot of devices and they haven't changed at all for anyone else or on my other devices. Also it only happens on the last two betas. I get a faster speed by turning off wifi and using my 3G (yes my network does not have LTE yet lol) but that's not an option at work where I have no service. Am I the only one having this problem?

I have no issues at all with my Wifi at home. I would look at your router and make sure you check your channels, placement of the Wifi antennas, etc. Run a speed test on a wired computer, then a wireless laptop, then on your phone. See any differences.

Here is what i get on Wifi at home:

I have the same issues on my phone - it seems related to the channel my time capsule is on - never had this problem before the last beta. I can fix it by changing the wi-fi channel and then back again - doesn't happen on ANY other devices or systems other than the iOS 10 beta ones, so defiantly an issue there.
