Both laptops only get 125 Mbps down with wifi even though other MacBook Airs and non-2018 MBPs in the exact same location get about 400 Mbps down.For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.It was on High Sierra at the time the photo was taken.
Gbps router. Hello there Could anyone tell me what is the maximum WiFi speed they get on the MacBook Pro 2018 and which with MacOS. At the office my speed is 500500 and my MacBook gets between 490-520 and 490-520 and this is about 40-45 away from the closest wifi access point with a wall and some metal shelving in between. ![]() Just running a quick test I can see 727Mbs (91MBs) of real throughput with a 1.3Gbs connection rate. It will drop off significantly though based on distance, other devices etc. The MBP has a 3x3 WiFi module, where virtually every other laptop on the market uses a 2x2 config. Enough to fully saturate a a gigabit internet connection, assuming your router is up to the task. Have a 2018 MBP. Was considering a Linksys or Orbi WiFi 6 AX system. Currently I have an AirPort Extreme (aging tech) trying to push a 1 Gig Fiber connection and that is my bottleneck. That being said wifi is half duplex so you are only going to get around half of what it can theoretically can do. Otherwise no. New wifi 6 devices added to your network that are doing chatty but low bandwidth stuff will be able to talk simultaneously, which they cant really do now, thereby freeing up air even for 802.11ac clients doing heavy transfers. Additionally, those new clients will probably (depending on the specifics of any deployment) be able to do larger transfers faster too. Probably not worth upgrading for though unless you are upgrading your heavy bandwidth devices soon too. You also need to consider the specifics of the deployment. Wifi 6 will be slower than 3x3 Wifi 5. ![]() It depends. Every MacBook Pro since the 2011 models except the ntb has 3x3 wifi with either 450 on wifi 4 or 1300 on wifi 5 max speeds. This can be somewhat mitigated by selective channel and frequency allocation of devices, and this practice is likely to provide better results than throwing money at a wifi 6 router in many circumstances I would think.
