Yikes. That sucks. I really dislike when connections change quality on
me while I'm in the middle of doing something.

Have you tried eliminating the possibility of wireless interference? I
would try plugging into the wired Ethernet somewhere to test this out,
or try connecting to the 5 Ghz network, "noisebridge-a".
It's not inconceivable that there are sometimes sources of 2.4 Ghz ISM
and 5 GHz interference, and this can really hurt your network
performance.

The wired network is the only part that I can test out and debug from
remote, and from there, things are looking peachy.

Maybe ping rack@ or noisebridge-discuss@ next time there's a problem,
and we can try and debug?

Another good place to look is in Observium:

You'll have to guess or hack the password to gain access. Any
sufficiently curious person should be able to figure out the
credentials for the read-only account in there. :p

Cheers,
