   The point is to first understand why wifi connectivity went from usable   
   to unusable. Then, if possible, to fix it.   
      
   The first thought was interference from other access points nearby.   
   No consistent evidence has been found, but I'm still looking.   
      
   The second thought was a faulty upgrade to Bookworm (this is on a Pi5)   
   There's a sliver of support for that idea, since performance changed   
   following some upgrades.   
      
   Third, a problem with the access point. That seems unlikely since other   
   hosts connect successfully and reliably.   
      
   Right now using a usb-wifi adapter seems to fix the problem. To me that   
   suggests a problem with the internal WiFi hardware or the software that   
   drives it. The Raspberry Pi forums have some accounts of poor wifi behavior   
   on Pi5s, but not many and no unifying features are obvious.   
      
   Thanks for writing,
