> Make sure that your device has Location Services turned on for Wi-Fi networking, because regulations in each country or region define the Wi-Fi channels and wireless signal strength allowed there.
That one surprised me.
I'd have expected that there would be a field in the data broadcast from the router that identified what country's or region's regulations it is operating under, and that client devices designed to handle multiple multiple countries or regions would use that to select channels and power levels that are legal there.
I also find it odd that Apple recommends this since users must disable location services on M1 mac mini systems to make the wifi work. It's just flat out broken and has been that way since they launched it.
I don't want to invalidate your experience, but allow me to offer an anecdata counterpoint: Wifi works perfectly on my M1 Mac Mini and has since day 1 (to the point I never bothered to wire it up), and I have location services enabled.
I wonder what other variables are in play here that make it not work for you.
