Post by: tcardoso on May 15, 2013, 08:34:13 AM

Did you mac moved out of range or disconnect from the DAP?

Usually this is just a log entry stating that the DAP disconnected from the MAC.

I think I changed encryption type and then tried to connect devices again. One type of devices in particular didn't went through server and in AP log it has dozens of those lines in a row, like device was always trying to connect (every 5 seconds) and being refused by AP with that reason.

What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard), so you might want to try TPIK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_Key_Integrity_Protocol)  only or Auto. If some of the devices don't support one of these modes then it could be the DAP logging it when the device attempts to connect and fails.

I recommend that you phone contact D-Link support and ask them about this log entry and see what they say.

Let us know if you find out anything.
