What wireless card are you using? I am guessing it is DW 1560, so did you patch AirPortBrcm4360.kext? Or are you using DW1830? Or something else?

I've upgraded the card to a DW1830..

I think I had the same exact issue on my old Optiplex Hackintosh.

Does the issue start when you wake the computer from sleep? I am not sure where I read it, but genuine DW1830 from DELL have a slightly different firmware than the ones on eBay. Some issue with the firmware causes slow downs after the computer is put to sleep on macOS. The solution is to create a script that turns the card off right before the device sleeps and turns it back on right before you wake up from sleep. I believe there is a guide on tonymac somewhere on how to do this. Good luck!

Yup it does it from coming out of standby so yup bit of a pain and is an Ebay purchase.. Many thanks for the response.. Will have a look over on TM..
