What issues did you have? I have a 2016 (catalina) and a 2017 MBP (ventura) and they connect to my ubiquiti AP (5G / WPA3) at least. Haven’t tried others in a long time. I do have completely separate 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs so that may be related.

I did have issues with these machines running Linux due to driver support (broadcom BCM43xx) but USB to ethernet worked fine.

A cheap linksys that has 2.4 and 5 separated is elusive to my 2011 iPad (and so are my AirPods Pro making the other wise beautiful screen on the iPad useless for watching movies at the gym) and the MacBook Pro won’t connect to school WiFi making it useless as a hand-down to my nephew.

No one at school knows anything technical about the WiFi as it’s supplied by a 3rd party.

Both are running latest available software.
