Having MBP 15" 2018 upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur. I notice that the WiFi networking slows down and suffers huge amount of packet loss. Turning off and back on the WiFi on the mac solves the problem for a while after which again I've a lot of packet loss. A MacBook Air M1 and my iPhone on the same WiFi network run stable, without any packet loss.

The answers in this thread don't show packet loss, but the effect of losing WiFi connection is the same. Cheers, Fons.

Same download failed here too. Hoping for a resolution of the problem.
