Hey,
Trying this as a last resort. I used to have Rain and had no issues, I since then switched over to fibre with Webafrica and have a strange issue now.
I run a Mac for my daily job and then Windows for my side gigs. Using the new router (One of those Zyxel ones) running on fibre, my Mac has severe stability and connection speed problems, intermittent connection basically. Windows and mobile phones are fine on the Wifi so must be something to do with the Mac and the settings on the router.
I've tried the following thus far:
1. Switch off the 5Ghz band on the router
2. Change the channel of the router from 20/40 to 20, this caused it to be slightly better on the Mac but caused my Windows device not to work anymore,
3. Hard reset the router and fibre box
4. Multiple tickets with Webafrica
5. Tried playing around with stupid things on the Mac I found on the internet
6. The golden switch everything off and on again
I now have an older router hooked up, its a lot more stable however still facing extremely slow Wifi speed on the mac and slight connection drops.
I have a 50/50 line and am getting ~5mb on the Mac.
At a point where I am ready to revert back to Rain as that worked flawlessly.
Appreciate the help in advance.
