That's almost certainly it.
I was having exactly the problem GP described a few years ago, and this was the fix.
It just about drove me nuts. It got to the point where I replaced my AP, started dragging a 10 meter ethernet cable around my house for my laptop, and started to suspect esoteric things like the local airport weather radar triggering DFS[^1].
In the end, it just turned out to be the damn Location Services.

I was unplugging things in the house and factory resetting everything. I've felt like I was going to crazy lengths to troubleshoot. As a temporary measure, am I able to simply switch off the WiFi on those Mac devices before running those commands, to test?
- runlevel1 4y agoYou should only need to turn it off on the devices you're running the tests on. I should have conditioned my previous comment with "if this is happening on an Apple device". In case it helps, I described what's happening under-the-hood in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33451879 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33451879
