Machines in my environment are experiencing a progressive worsening of wifi link speed, typically over the course of several days or weeks, until they reach single digits.
The issue is network agnostic, and occurs for local and remote users, both on and off vpn
I've been working on this problem for 3 months and am no closer to resolution, so any and all suggestions are welcome.
Steps taken:
Recreated wifi profiles, created new network interface, modified dns settings, changed networks, changed MTU, disabled firewall
Removed login items, scrutinized activity monitor and killed as many non-essential processes as I could find, unloaded all third party Launch Daemons and Launch Agents,
Restarting the machine fixes the situation every time (ie. speeds go from single to double or triple digits), but it's just a matter of time before they deteriorate again, so I am under a great deal of pressure to find the culprit. Any troubleshooting steps that might help me identify what could possible be throttling the connection would be greatly appreciated.
