From a technical point of view, that really isn't a "simple" setup.  The very fact that you're running Linux in a VM means it probably doesn't have direct control of the wifi hardware - rather, the host OS does, and I very much doubt that Windows is very intelligent about it.  Then your path involves an awful lot of Internet infrastructure on the way to the remote server and back.

So your simple prioritised ack is the solution that works, because it's the only solution that actually does anything in your setup.
