Is it just me, or the latest build of 10.11.6 have a nasty wifi issue? I have 10MBPS at home, and we have 3 Windows machines and 2 Macs. My daughter's Mac was out yesterday, so I couldn't test, but all the machines reported steady 10MBPS on speedtest.net, but my mid 2015 MBP said I was at 2 MBPS, sometimes even less. I changed the router's channel, rebooted a couple times, but no use. Browsing was simply impossible. I Skyped a friend, and it was like looking at a fresco paint.

Then I connected the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, and boom! Speed immediately went up to 10MBPS.

Is there anything I can do to figure out what's happening? BTW, I just filed the feedback to Apple, but just wanted to ask around if is a known issue.

Thanks
