Re: OM5P-AN dropped packets

The Team Number field is used only to get the IP. Once established, it has no effect. When I've seen this, it is typically some service or setting on the laptop/OS. One thing to do is to open the task manager and see if there is a noticeable bump in some process at the same period as the packet loss. This could be a virus scan, a disk indexing for search, or an update program from Microsoft, Autodesk, etc.

Another thing that some folks see is the wifi interface scanning channels, looking for other APs. I'm not sure the best way to prevent that, and I don't think the interruption should be as frequent or as long as yours.

Also, if you plug the ethernet into the laptop, what does that look like. It will take out the channel scan, but still be affected by update programs and the like.
