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,
