Yesterday it was working normally. Today it is impossible to connect to the same wifi (can't connect, run diagnostics and blabla). Restarting computer , resetting network settings - no help. Macbook Pro (Intel, Catalina) connects to the same wifi in one second. Also two iphones. What is going on ? How to make it working normally again ? How can something like this happen ? Thank you .

Clearing the cache always speeds up my imternets
add developer to the safari tabs and clear cache
Not exactly sure what you mean ... No need to "speed up" internet, just can't connect to wifi that I was connected yesterday easily and to which everyone around is fully connected in no time now (except me). It has nothing to do with Safari but with basic wifi connection.

This wifi easily works for everybody else around now and worked for me yesterday.

Sounds like the router may be having a problem issuing the IP. Reset the router.
As I said: another Macbook Pro connects perfectly and also 2 iphones ... If problems with router, nothing would connect

I tried everything and nothing worked ... (all the other devices around kept working without a problem). And - without doing anything ... it suddenly started working ... really weird ...

A router can have problems issuing an IP to a single device. I thought you started this thread for help. Don't argue it when it's given.

I've had these issues on my Mid-2020 iMac and they kept reappearing every other day or sometimes they were gone for a week. I contacted Apple support, did everything they told me and it turned out there was some deep internal software or hardware issue, so I needed to send my iMac in for repairs...

@Micka88 Did this get resolved for you? If yes, could let me know what you did? I am facing the same issue, my MacBook air isn't connecting but all other devices are

Edit: this is resolved. Upgraded my wifi router
