Disconnecting (deauth) wireless client: ffffffffffff (Reason 3)
« on: November 13, 2007, 04:04:05 PM »

I've started seeing this is the log every 5 minutes, when it happens it also shows the same message with Reason 3 for all 3 wireless MACs connected (1 N adapter and 2 G adapters) and drops them all. Connections are restored within 5 seconds or so. Why the heck is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

I get the same problem from time to time, is there a fix or at least a reason for it?

Good question, WTF means "Received Deauth"? I'm seeing it quite a bit.

DLink guys - you're going to have to answer this one, I've got no idea.

DLink guys even alive? Or do they have you all on the phone right now?

I called today and after about 40 minutes on tech support I got through to someone who understood me, however after asking what that specific error meant I got blown off and the question wasn't even acknowledged.

So it should be interesting to see if they answer here :)

Unfortunately I haven't seen much as far as responses from actual DLink folk here. I do see them, but not many.

Curious if you have the latest firmware (2.24) update installed? - I had a lot of issues with the firmware with the firmware version that came with, constantly got "Wireless Init Failed" (Not the problem you were having, but the whole wireless part would not work in my case) until I put on the update.

The recv.d Deauth statement is the router being told by the adapter to ack the disconnect. You shouldn't see this message unless a client computer is told to disconnect.
However, we have seen cases where this happens with MAC filtering, are any of you who are having this issue using MAC filtering?

I am having the same issue.  Not using MAC filtering.  I have only 1 wireless N adapter in use.

On a side note, for some reason my router logs do not show times.  I manually entered the time and it does appear in the config screen.  Makes it a little difficult to determine how often or for what duration the disconnects occur.

HW Ver C1, FW ver 3.01 (dated 9/10/2008)

thx

I found this cause before:

My Internet security software was requesting the "deauth" because the software deemed my wireless SSID as a security threat.  Once I told my security software to trust my wireless SSID name, everything seemed to be working well.  It is not enough for you to just tell your Internet security software to trust the gateway access LAN IP address.

I am now seeing the same message mixed in with reason 8.
Check your wireless cards and make sure your card is setup correctly with the right security.  Mine wasn't, it didn't help but it may help someone.
you can get to it, by clicking clicking on "Change the Order" link on "View Wireless Networks" Click on Properties of the card and make sure security is correct.
