So D-Link has ignored this problem for 3 weeks now, apparently they only ask questions and provide no answers.   This router, and D-Link support are both faulty and substandard.  I'm returning my second DIR-655 and my DPR-1260 back to Amazon for a full refund including shipping.  D-Link of today doesn't even come close to resembling the company and products I used several years ago.  I'm sorry I tried them and am now researching what draft-n gear to go with.

That patch does not fix the "disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication" issue.  I've applied it to both of my laptops (WinXP) and still receive the disconnects very often (more than 10 times a day... even if no one's using that computer, so it's not load related).

Since this issue is apparently unable to be replicated in your lab, that sounds like an admission of guilt that there are many, many faulty routers out there (just google that that string -- "disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication".. 212 hits with repeats omitted).

Should I just plan to RMA my faulty router and roll the dice that I get one of the ones that just happens to be non-faulty?  How about you send me the 655 from your lab that doesn't have this issue nor the one with the Wii?

It seems that no one has ever though of check the PC's configuration and all running software.  I have experience this with a different model of D-Link router (DIR-615) and was only check on the router itself.   It turned out that my Internet security software (Norton 360) firewall module was force the wireless adapter to disconnect the network, hence the deauthentication.  Newer Internet security software may need to have your wireless network SSID to be listed in the software's "trusted" network section.

Is the device thats being Deauthed a computer or a gaming console?

I seem to have the same issue, but it is happening on the Wireless connection to my Wii gaming console.  Since you specifically asked the question about whether this was occuring to a computer or a gaming console, and this thread went down the "computer" path....is there something I can do to resolve this issue with my Wii?  I get this log entry about every 11 minutes:

Wireless system with MAC address 00191DDD? disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication.

Thats normal behavior for the Wii. Are you seeing it anywhere else?

Just got a Wii and when the Wii Connect24 is turned on and in standby mode then I would see the disconnects too.  I turned off the stand by mode and set it to update only when active and the disconnects went away.

The issue only seems to be associated with the Wii.  Thanks for the update.  I will turn the Connect24 feature off when the console is off and see if the log messages go away.


Thanks for the info!

I got a Wii for Christmas -- mine does it too -- it causes no problem.

I was having deauth's on my laptop every few minutes, but was not seeing an actual disconnection. That was when I was using WPA2. I switched to WPA and AES and everything worked.

I should note that WPA2 didn't work for me at all until I updated to the newest firmware for my wireless card, after that it worked other than the deauthentication problem. For the moment i am staying on WPA with AES.

Your laptop might have some power saving feature thats causing that behavior. not sure why changing the encryption would matter, unless you somehow altered the Group Key Interval update..........

[twk3]

I did change the group key interval update to 8640 after having the problem, but I started having the problem while the interval was the default. But I do have the toshiba power management drivers/services installed.

The GKIU is too high, lower it to 1800  and disable the power management.
