Why Your Raspberry Pi's Wi-Fi Keeps Dropping
Your Raspberry Pi's built-in Wi-Fi isn't badly designed — in an anechoic chamber it measures above -2 dB, roughly 70% efficiency. So why does the link fall apart in the real world? This episode digs into the physics and field data behind unstable SBC connectivity: PCB trace antennas that are narrowband and placement-sensitive, USB 3.0 broadband noise that can raise the 2.4 GHz noise floor by up to 25 dB, and why the adapter you should buy is the best-supported one, not the fastest. We also cover what "high gain antenna" claims actually mean, why chipset choice has narrowed to three suppliers…
