Macbooks occasionally performs slow

  • 1.  Macbooks occasionally performs slow

    Posted Jul 06, 2022 08:18 AM
    Hello Airheads,

    Recently a couple of users started using new MacBook's in my organization. Since the first start, occasional network slowness is experienced with these units where all applications are affected.
    The older MacBook's and HP laptops don't experience this issue, indicating the issue only consists between the new MacBook and Aruba WLAN.

    Wondering if anyone has/have had similar issues.

    Aruba 7220 & AP335's with 8.6.0.9 (tunnel mode)
    MacBook Pro (16", 2021), running MacOS Monterey 12.3

    Thanks for the feedback and if more info is required I'm happy to share.

    Jeroen

    Have you tried these solutions? I heard there was an issue with the M1 Macbooks when they first came out.

    Thanks for the link.
    We've already tried a few of these with no success. Will check the remaining ones and see if that improves things.

    Thanks for the feedback. We are currently investigating and testing the situation. What I've found is similar issues reported in Apple forums. Seems OSX 12.4 having the same issue, while 12.0.1 is not.

    Not able to add an image, but seems all channels in the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz are supported on the M1 macbook.

    1 to 13 (2.4Ghz)
    36, 40, 44, ...through 165

    On the WLAN I only allowing:
    1, 6 and 11 (2.4Ghz)
    36, 40, 44 and 48 (5Ghz)

    Features like 802.11d, k, r and v are enabled in my environment as part of optimizations.

    Hi,

    In our network most Apple devices suffer from PRIVATE MAC ADDRESS. You may try to disable Wi-Fi private mac address.

    Best regards.
