As you can see, all clients are disconnecting very often. I am sure this
wasn't the case with WAP1 v2.2. However none of my customers did ever notice
any disconnections. Does anyone know about this "problem".?


Kind regards,


Marcel

etc.

I own one WAP11 v2.2 and two v2.6. Only the v2.6 behave like this.
All my clients use WET11.

I have yet to find an answer why this happens.

Does anyone know exactly what "Association Expire Mac" means?

It looks to me that a timer for valid MAC addresses times out every few
minutes. Must be a firmware problem. I guess it won't be fixed, Linksys is
braindead for years. All my new customers will now get Senao equipment. More
stable and much more power

The timer idea sounds probable. The dropout interval is constant about
six minutes per. MAC. They occur sequentialy in order of connection.
It's not like everyone is cut off at the same time.

If the firmware is to blame it makes me wanna take it to a hexeditor
and play around a bit. One would like to locate those six minutes and
poke them to something less annoying ;-)
