Apple Devices and Slow Internet Connections

Apple devices like Macs, MacBooks, iPhones, and iPads now turn on a setting called “Limit IP Address Tracking” automatically. While this setting is meant to protect your privacy, it can sometimes slow down your internet or cause connection problems on campus networks.

We’ve seen that turning this setting off often makes Wi-Fi faster and more reliable.
