Do all devices have packet loss or just one?
What actual firmware version are you on? Sometimes the latest isn't the greatest and we have users try downgrading a version.
Did you test different channels? Your scanner might indicate you're on the best channel but you might be surpised. Sometimes a lower or DFS channel works better. 5ghz doesn't broadcast very far and is much faster so even though there might be more people on a different channel, they might not be saturating it as much or its far enough away it isn't causing interference.
Also try turning off beamforming.
