Why am I suddenly losing packets?
Wi-Fi packet loss is likely to occur in private, wireless networks because when things are sent through the air,
it's easy for them to get lost or dropped. This becomes even more likely on long-distance internet connections because the packets have farther to go and, by extension, more room for error.
How do I find out why I have packet loss?
By
consistently sending ping packets (of various sizes), you may be able to determine that there is loss on the network. Once this has been identified, you can then use traceroute to try to determine which hop in the path from sender to receiver is causing the packet loss.
How do you fix late packets?
