Does the de-auth stop if the encryptionis removed?

OK, I did a bad thing... two variables.
I seem to be stable now, but I applied the hotfix listed on this page.
Update for Windows XP (KB893357)

Started from scratch with the router. left encryption off...
Seemed fine. Then re-built my routing table.
Seemed fine. Then added WPA.
Seems fine.
So I think that I am seeing the up-time due to hotfix listed.

To help you (if needed!) I have a 634m and a dir 625 that did not need this hotfix for me to have a solid connection. I will update later to tell you if it is stable long term.

The patch should help PC clients, but the fact that it helped the Wii is odd. I wonder if the PC was causing a De-auth to the router forcing to it dump all of it's clients.

Yep when I built my routing table I switched the mac addresses. So I can connect with everything in the house w/wpa-or-wpa2 and the hotfixes applied.
I will let you know if it is stable.

Wii is the only thing having connection issues now. It connects and disconnects multiple times a day. repeatedly.


VPN to company internet. works.
xbox360. works.
multiple "G" dell cards all seem to work with the hotfixes. (done)
The wrt111 netgear (108) works if uncheck the option to use 108 (so leave the 54 option checked). (works)
PSP seems fine. (works)
The Dlink NAS, Print server, switch, and wired NICs all have worked all along.

I have WPA and WPA2 mode enabled. I will try wpa only in a day or two after I am sure everything is stable to see if that helps the wii.

I have already replaced a DIR655 A2 router because of the deauthentication issue & other random reboots & looping reboot issue.

I specifically asked for an A3 version from RMA. I got it and seems to have solved the rebooting problems but not the " received deauthentication.." I use a PCIExpress DWA556 adapter and also after receiving "deauth." if I manually select the SSID from Vista Wireless Manager top reconnect it won't connect with message "trying to authenticate", so the only solution is to disable/enable the adapter & other times that won't work either.

I have finally tried Lycan's solution in the router

Quote
"Turn SPI off and change the ENDPOINT filters to endpoint independent. "

IT WORKS, at least during last 10 hours, I have also manually disconnected & connected to the router without any issues FOR NOW. If everything goes as expect during at least a week, I will report back.

I am running the A2 hardware version with the latest BETA firmware. I have made these changes: "Turn SPI off and change the ENDPOINT filters to endpoint independent. ". I kepp getting the deauthentication!

What is the problem? Come on Dlink, the web is full of these "Deauthetication" issues! You really have no solution for it?

We're not able to replicate the issue in house. The PC's require a patch from microsoft that is included with SP3 but can also be obtained seperately.

As for the console systems, it's a hard sell because we are not able to replicate.

Hi,
   I know this is not the proper post but I have the same issue with my wii and my WBR-2310. 

I will create a thread there but.... this may open light at DLink

It is very hard for me to believe that the Wii problem cannot be replicated!

Is it anything I can do to help determining the problem? Enabling some special debugging logs, sending it to you, etc. Any other suggestions?

[Lycan]

Well, I have a Wii and I have a 655 and I have a 360 and more and I do not see tihs issue in my home.
Deauth is a difficult issue oto diagonse. Can you send me a copy of the config?

I tried to attach it to the reply. It says that it is too big. The file's size is 187K ... Is there any other way to send it to you?

[pmarcovi]

I have sent you the config file ... Any news regarding this problem?

[Lycan]

We're not able to replicate the de-auth.
However, I did see some odd thigns happening from the Wii, as well as my iPhone. hang tight for more testing.

[pmarcovi]

Any news on this front?

I am thinking buying another brand name router  ... The majority of de-authentication problems on the Internet are Dlink ...

This is an interesting article, it might give  clue to the dev team on what kind of solution they could implement to a premature de-authentication disconnect: http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=displaynews&newsid=347

Thats a very interesting article. I've forwarded it to our PM group and my managers. We'll see what can be done. In the mean time, I apologize for the frustrations. We're working to correct this asap.
