WiFi Packet Loss and Slow Speed PineA64 Debian 8 - Stymied - 03-26-2017
Hi, I have a Pine64 with Debian 8. Bought last July, finally getting around to setting it up as a fileserver. Installed x11vnc so that I don't need to keep it near a monitor.
I have the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module and the backup battery installed. I am able to connect to my home Wi-Fi network, but the connection is pretty unstable and when I check it by pinging out to www.yahoo.com I get at least 30% packet loss and ping times from 400-2500 ms. When I ssh in from another machine, I get a lot of lag in between typing characters. It's incredibly slow and unreliable.
My home network is fine, at least from the point of view of all the other machines. I can happily SSH around, I get good upload and download speeds, and ping to www.yahoo.com takes less than 100 ms.
I have the antenna for the Wi-Fi module attached to the inside top of the wooden case, so I don't think it's a signal problem. The Wi-Fi icon shows 53% signal strength; not great, but shouldn't be this bad.
What's likely to be the problem? What should I check?

outside chance of an oxidation on the pins to the wifi module, i would take it off and seat it a few times just to rule this possibility out.

Thanks. I'll give this a try.
