I have 5 Macbooks (including a Pro) of various ages and all connect perfectly at full speed.

What is connectivity like when you connect the Pro to the Hub via a Cat6a ethernet cable - use a USBc to RJ45 ethernet Adapter to make the physical connection

Some Mac issues have been reported on here - these are the ones I have collected - see if anything in these helps for starters

    Hi there, coming back to this thread now, this solved my issue with slow initial loading on my MacBook. The fix was to turn off "Automatic Proxy Discovery" in my Wifi Settings. Fingers crossed but seems to be working normally now! 

    Thanks again!
