LX2234 0 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 So after purchasing this product, I discovered that about 2-3 minutes after setting up the Synergy app on my Macbook Pro, I started getting horrible mouse lag. I looked at the Synergy help page regarding this. I didn't think it was bad WIFI as I have a pretty decent router with 1-2 wireless connections at most. I assumed it wasn't my internet as I have 500 down, 50up and at testing at the time of this problem occurring didn't show any slowdowns or ping issues. The article mentions something about MacOS having a problem with the WIFI hardware slowing down and to conduct a ping test. When I tried to open the Network Utility App, I was greeted with window which indicated the aforementioned Network tool is deprecated now. It directed me to either the terminal to write commands or to the Wireless Diagnostics tool. I proceeded to open the Wireless Diagnostics tool, it couldn't find any faults in my WIFI connection, but it gave me the option to monitor my wireless connection so I went ahead with that. That is when I noticed the cursor lag problem had completely gone away. I tried to see what would occur when I would close Wireless Diagnostics program and behold, a few minutes and a restart later I had the same initial cursor lag. Repeating the processing of running the Wireless Diagnostics program and clicking on the option to monitor my wireless connection would fix the issue again. So my assumption is that the Wireless Diagnostics program gets the WIFI hardware in the Macbook to work at not a reduced level of performance. I tried to replicate the issue a few times for the purposes of testing and each time this method would fix the issue, although the amount of time it takes for the cursor lag problem to reoccur could vary. I know my testing methodology isn't perfect but what do you guys think? I'm a new user so I'm not sure how much this has been discussed or if this fix has been stated before but let me know. I'll also provided relevant information below.
