This error happens when the client responds too slowly for smbclient.
Often it is due to anti-virus software spending too long processing
directories with large numbers of files.

Your network is showing worst case 14.5 second ping round trips.
That does suggests this is the cause of the problem.

But I backup all the time over WLAN and it works well.  Perhaps
you need to install extra APs on different channels (eg: 5GHz)
to get some better connectivity.
