Raspberry PI 3 Dead

Yes, I've seen exactly the same. My debian-weezy that was upgraded to jessie, did NOT work on the raspberry pi three. A fresh install did.

I've done all this and I'm still having issues with the wi-fi dropping out.

I've tried pinging both ways to and from the Mac and the PI3.  Still get way too large of times.

Also, when I try to ping from the PI3 I get the following:

ping:  icmp open socket:  Operation not permitted

I have to go to sudo ping to make it work.  I've never seen this before on any of my other PI's.

It is difficult to help if you are you not more precise with your problem description unfortunately. You have mentioned WiFi 'dropping out' what does this mean? Lost packets? Is it intermittent, and once packets begin to be dropped are all packets dropped or does it recover? You also mention round trip times being high. Is that a separate issue, or is this what you meant by 'dropping out'?

Sorry that we don't speak the same dialect of English.  By dropping out, meaning, that the WI-FI connection is lost.  It will do this for several seconds at a time.  Sometimes requiring to reconnect the wi-fi at the panel in the top left of the screen.

There is some sort of issue here, as the ping times should be less than 10 mS and no packet loss.

One question I would ask... do you folks replying to this post have a PI 3 running.  If not say so.  I have several PI 2's and do not have such issues.

The environment is very important. how far are the machine and router? walls in between. The power of the radio signal? Do you have many other AP's nearby? I know how to try some things.

Silly question (almost) but I have to ask - is the Pi in an enclosure? If so, what type of enclosure?

What is the power rating of the supply you're using - I understand it worked fine on the Pi 2, but the Pi 3 consumes more power.

A photo of your setup might help too. We don't know how you've installed your pi, and it is difficult to diagnose as a result.

Added this: http://www.cnet.com/news/diagnosing-and-addressing-wi-fi-signal-qua  Try closer to router to see if it may be power issue.

Added more: Metal enclosures are not recommended since they shield the wireless.

Please print out the results of:

iwconfig

so I can see some things.

the pi is 10 ft from the router.  It is is in the bottom half of a abs plastic (3d printed) housing, top housing off.

I have a 4 amp power supply that the noise is very low (I'm a retired Electronics Engineer (RF) with a scope).  Power is the first thing I always look at.
