    gollark: You may not need a massively expensive mesh network.
    gollark: My phone doesn't show the same problem, so it might be a hardware issue with my laptop, a *software* issue with my laptop, me not checking on it for long enough, or an issue with my router/modem/thingy's 5GHz WiFi (laptop supports that, phone doesn't).
    gollark: (Arch btw) Linux.
    gollark: Everything I can see gets labelled with a TTL of 54.
    gollark: Though there are still the random dropouts which the router/modem/thingy reports as being with the broadband connection.
