How to fix APPLE iOS slowing down my wifi internet connection?

How else to fix APPLE iOS slowing down my wifi internet connection?

I have learned that APPLE has blessed me with 1/3 speed on my wifi internet connection. iPad Pro, with or without Nord VPN. Don’t know when it started. Many others have this too. By online research I have found that toggling Airplane Mode off then on; followed by forgetting my network and reentering the network PW increases my 3G wifi speed by 3X. MY iMac is screaming speed. No problem there.

Obviously a “gift” from poor coders at APPLE.

Are there any other fixes out there that will give me more speed or kill the requirement to do this every time I shut down/restart?

iPad Pro (M4, 2024)

Not strictly Apple related, but Mouse related. (and age related I suppose).

I was working as a networking specialist for an IBM dealer back in 91 when this memo came out. This is not a photocopy of the original, obviously, but I can assure you that a memo purporting to be from IBM did come out with this wording in 1991. It was actually handed to me by our IBM rep. I wish I'd had the good sense to keep a physical copy of it...
