My MAC reports mbps download via Ethernet connection at up too 200 mbps, while recently, my WiFi to my MAC, when I disconnect the Ethernet is < 20, as is my iPhone and I cannot use my Roku streaming TV now.
This is a recent change within the last week or so that the WiFi has suddenly dropped to become unusable.

My friend who lives next door has speedy WiFi, as fast as my Ethernet speed to the gateway.
Why the difference?

BINGO.
Went into the gateway control app on my iPhone and changed to 5G explicitly instead of recommended automatic, and that screams.  Now I set up additional WiFi at 2.4 for Ring and that works
