Interesting. Maybe Apple's not to blame then!
Time to wrap my dongles around in aluminum foil once again!
Also side note: Louis Rossman is a super funny guy (biking around NY to find a better place is both hilarious and fun to watch)

This USB shielding issue is one of those times. He spent almost an hour bitching about how Apple had skimped out on the new Touch Bar MacBooks and how they couldn't even get basic WiFi working and then, when it was pointed out that it was likely due to his cables and it happened in another video, he completely ignored it and never corrected the initial video to explain that it had nothing to do with the MacBook. His only admission ever has been on a buried comment in a Reddit post where a user flat-out asked him to confirm the case.
His whole assessment of Apple with regard to right-to-repair is also really disingenuous and he constantly brings up PC Kompaniet (do a Google search if you're not familiar) as an example of Apple being hard on the little guy without mentioning that "the little guy" was actually doing exactly what Apple accused them of but stopped doing it when it went to court and the court decided to dismiss the case on the grounds that the offending behavior had been terminated. Since that other portion didn't fit his narrative and would no longer support his stance that Apple is the big, bad corporate enemy of small repair shops, he just ignores it.
He's funny but I would take everything he says with a grain of salt. He's a YouTube personality, after all.

I liked the guy before he became a professional YouTuber who pretends to not be one.
Using a 5ghz wifi network, if possible, should fix it
