[colug-432] Packet Loss

[Richard Troth]

I get packets lost on WiFi all the time.
Varies with location in the house, other traffic on the LAN, phase of
the moon ... any number of things.

Look for things obstructing line-of-site between you and the router.
Things like A/C ducting (hidden in your walls) can be particularly
problematic.
