I'm curious: Is there any way to gain access to wifi's packet loss info? Before anyone suggests it, no ping does not tell you much about wifi packet loss. Wifi will automatically attempt to resend any packets lost, ICMP or otherwise. Packet loss has to be incredibly high (usually) for ping to count a packet as lost. They say that about 2% packet loss is normal for wifi, but I've been having some issues recently and suspect high packet loss, with no accurate way to test it.
