Why is my MBA WiFi connection 3 times slower MacBook Pro
I have both MacBook Air and MacBook Pro side by side.
The Macbook Air is 3 times slower in connecting to the internet than the MacBook Pro.
Any help?
Update (10/24/2015)
I made sure that I am connecting to the same band both of them 5GHz
The only difference i found is that my Macbook Air has Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n) while my MacBook Pro has Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac)
Is there a way that I can upgrade the adapter?
Is this a good question?

You'll need to give us the last four digits of the serial numbers for both systems so we can correctly identify them. Different series of systems offer different abilities, so it is possible your MacBook Air could be slower.

When testing its important to make sure the connection is the same between the systems. If you look at your AirPort Extreme or Internet Routers WiFi settings make sure the AP you trying to connect to is the same between the systems. As an example my AirPort Extreme offers both a 2.4 & 5 GHz band. The 5 GHz band offers more throughput than the 2.4 GHz. But the 2.4 GHz band offers longer distance from the AP than the 5 GHz.
