So, I tested my laptop with the WIFI protocol set to 802.11a, 0% packet loss. This does not occur with the more modern 802.11ac protocol.

On my PC, generally 0.5-2% packet loss with an ethernet cable to my router/modem.

Is the 802.11a protocol correcting the errors / packet losses on my internet connection? Or, is something else going on?
