My iPhone 4 floods my log with:
[INFO] [date] [routername]: Wireless system with MAC address [iPhone] secured and linked   
[INFO] [date] [routername]: Wireless system with MAC address [iPhone] associated   

What's the reason for this and is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Thats the iphone going to sleep and when you wake it up it reconnects or leaving the wifi area and coming back.

What exactly is "going to sleep"? When the screen turns black? Or after what period? I can have have 10 reconnects in just a couple of minutes.

[FurryNutz]

What ever the sleep time out settings are on the iPhone.

[swehjo]

If you're talking about my Iphones "auto-lock" it's 5 minutes. I assume that is not the same timer as for the iPhones Wi-fi connection but I don't know where to find that....

Maybe worthwhile to point out that the iPhone has a static address in the router.

[FurryNutz]

I would refer you to Apple for iPhone help and support.

What is the reason that I don't get an "[routername]: Wireless system with MAC address [iPhone]disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication" between these "secured, linked and associated" entries? I only get the "deauthentication" message when I manually shut off the Wi-fi in the iPhone.

[FurryNutz]

Either the sleep mode timed out and the phone went to sleep, interferences possibly or the phone left the wireless range while still ON.

I see these messages even on a Apple Airport Extreme. It's how the router is just saying, hey, the iphone is not connected. It's up to the iphone to get reconnected when in range or turned ON.

Ok! Thanks a lot for your help!!
