A method and system for configuring a wireless network, e.g., an ad hoc wireless network having a plurality of nodes and at least one server. In the wireless network, among other things, mesh network viability is maintained as packet loss information is recorded at a plurality of individual nodes in the wireless network during packet transmission from each of the plurality of nodes. The packet loss information may be stored at the at least one server for access at a period of time other than the moment when the packet is received at the at least one server from one of the plurality of nodes.
