This is probably old news to most people but I’m posting here in case it helps anyone else! Turns out there’s a power management setting you can disable that really improved the wireless reliability for me.
You first have to enable Developer Mode in Settings > System. Then you should see a new menu right at the bottom of the settings list called Developer. Under Miscellaneous you should see the option Enable Wifi Power Management.
Turning this off completely solved the problems I was having with Wifi being either really slow or dropping out completely to the point where it was almost unusable.
Good question! I assume there’s some trade-off but I haven’t properly tested it yet since I was just excited to see it working properly. I can try running some experiments tomorrow.
I totally understand about being excited to see it working properly. No pressure but any testing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
