Hi,
openwrt use the minstrel wireless rate selection algorithm - which is
one of the better ones.
You would do better with a wireless access point running openwrt
connected via ethernet to your
cable modem.
Yes - for now, wired connections rule. There are some "zealots" who have
found faster ways of
doing things with radios..
Cheers,
Derek.

That implies strongly that your local link has dropped. Can you take
wireless out of the picture by disabling it, then connect an ethernet cable?
Also try a traceroute (or mtr) to show the path. Ping is only showing us
end to end connectivity.

Barry, if you have an android phone/tablet I HIGHLY recommend wifi analyzer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
I have used it a few times to choose the best channel for my AP to be
on, where it doesn't get too much interference from neighbours.
Than again, I highly recommend a wire!!
