Packet Loss involving R7800, Synergy and Killer 1535 Wireless Network Adapter
Hello, I've noticed whenever I'm using using 'Synergy' to access my Laptop, there is a large increase in dropped packets happening in my 'ping -t google.com' command. (Synergy allows you to use ...

Thank you for the quick reply!
I took a look at my Router settings and it looked like everything was already setup similar to your suggestions. Upon further investigation I found that the Router has QoS enabled for Wireless traffic on by default. (At least it was on for me, for some reason).
The settings are located at:
192.168.1.1 > Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup > WMM
I set those two WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings to disabled.
That appears to have fixed the packet loss.
I assume that is because the Qualcomm driver the Killer 1535 is using was performing its own QoS.
I noticed some large latency spikes after disabling that, so I installed the 'Killer Control Center' program and set the Synergy.exe to max priority.
So far, so good.

What wireless modes are you using? Try Up to 800Mb on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Set manual channels on each radio and test. 11 on 2.4Ghz and 48 on 5Ghz. Set WPA2 and AES only.
Disable IPv6 and MU-MIMO features as well and test.
Possible issue only between the 7800 and this particular wireless adapter if other adapters work.

Wonder if you can disable any QoS or WMM on Killers adapter as well. Glad you got it working. Enjoy.
