This could be because of the power management of wifi. Try to disable the power management feature on the wifi adapter.
# sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off (replace wlan0 with the name of your adapter) This might heat up your wifi adopter. To verify if this works out, ping any host before and after disabling power management. Are you using USB hub with external power or directly connecting the wifi adapter to the BBB board ?
