I had a similar experience in La Raza some time ago. they'd managed to
set their wifi access point to some weird mode, perhaps a bridge, and
everybody got all the network traffic. It would work for only very short
periods. I did manage to log in at one point to the access point as it
had a default password, but was so flakey I couldn't get far enough to
fix it, and friends told me to stop being a geek and put the laptop away :-)

are the errors and drops addressed to different IPs that somehow ended
up with your mac address?
