I experience ~10% packet loss when running wireless.
What it means to me is an average torrent download speed at 50% my wired speed (because of time out the speed goes to max, drops down, goes to max again etc..).
When playing online games, I get lag spikes once every 2 minutes lasting 20 seconds.
The setup I use:
Net gear r6300 router
Laptop running ubuntu 14.04 with intel ac7260 lan card
For testing, i have my laptop in the same room (2 meters from the router) and got the following result: 65 packets transmitted, 57 received, 12% packet loss, time 64077ms.
I tried 1000 packets from a windows machine with 10% loss. When using cable there is no problems.
Do anyone got some clue what could cause this?
Edit: Forgot some info and made some more testing
Running the router with DD-WRT does NOT solve the problem.
Running 100 packets through 2,5 ghz produce 0% packet loss.

– DavidPostill – 2015-08-25T15:49:16.29710% packet loss is a serious problem. You should do some testing with other devices first to determine where the problem is located. – qasdfdsaq – 2015-08-25T16:02:04.793
Yes, it is pretty damn annoying! I tried my own pc, and a friends pc running windows. I am testing on a third pc right now, which shows me the same error. The packets timeout after 10 packets on the first two pc's i tested with (9 good packets 1 bad, 9 good again 1 bad). I have the same router setup at another location with no problems at all. – Bok – 2015-08-25T16:08:42.337
Is the packet loss to your router or some internet destination? – DavidPostill – 2015-08-25T16:14:21.297
I am pinging the router – Bok – 2015-08-25T16:18:45.983
