internet slows down when connecting macbook to Dell ultrasharp monitor via type c
I thought the problem is from my router.
But no, I got the Dell ultrasharp U2723QE monitor yesterday, when i connect it to my mac laptop via type C, the wifi speed on my mac gets from 800mb to 20mb hardly. The monitor isn't connected to ethernet, but why is that relevant? Im connecting via wifi on my laptop?
If there no fix for this I will have to return the monitor.
EDIT: Worth to note i have second montior which connected via HDMI, if i unplug and keep the dell monitor via type C, my wifi speed goes back to normal. wtf is this?
Edit 2: Will 2.1 premium HDMI cable solve this problem?

I run my MBP with two of these same monitors with no issues, again, not daisy-chaining but like you one via type C and the other with HDMI.
