It seems to be an issue with using a 5.8 gigahertz WiFi endpoint, which has worked fine up until a couple days ago when it started dropping packets going outside my local network: I could watch a continuous ping start failing for a couple minutes while using Synergy to control my laptop that was connected to my work VPN without issue, so it only seemed to be an issue routing outside my network, which is really weird. Switching to the 2.4 gigahertz channels seems to have fixed it entirely.
What I need to do is look up the JournalD commands to be able to read the logs correctly and find what I'm after... Might also spin up a VM to see if that goes out at the same time, would be interesting if the VM can still work while the host is dropping packets...
So switching to a slower wifi AP causes packets destined for outside of your network to not be dropped? That sounds like one of those cursed issues that's a complete nightmare to track down lol. Maybe the faster speed of the 5.8ghz network is causing your router to get overwhelmed or something? Does the same issue happen if you connect via ethernet? I don't really know what else can cause this, I hope you can get it fixed!
Since my other systems were unaffected, I'm pretty sure it's something on my PC, possibly an update for the Wi-Fi drivers introduced a bug that affects the 5.8 channels
It's been stable since switching so it's more academic at this point, I have no burning need to be connected to the 5ghz channels
