Bug Description
Recently I have been experiencing intermitted total packet loss over wifi.
I've already been looking at another issue in which Bluetooth coexistence seems to be causing controller hardware to crash - bug 1719210 - so I'm rather suspicious of the updated iwlwifi microcode that is used by newer kernel versions.
Unfortunately, I don't have a good reproduction recipe, as the fault doesn't seem to occur immediately after boot, nor is it an absolute failure of connectivity - from a user perspective, it feels like, for example, the website you are using is responding exceptionally slowly. It is only on testing multiple remote sites, and finding that rebooting into an earlier kernel fixes the issue, that it is apparent that it's a local OS problem.
