RE305 disconnecting every 5 minutes.
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
RE305 running latest firmware v1.1.4 (tried v1.1.3 too).
Extender keeps disconnecting to router every 5 minutes. Based on the router and AP log, the AP disassociates normally with unknown reason.
Troubleshooting steps:
1. Use 2.4GHz instead of 5Ghz.
2. Tune Wi-Fi Coverage to "Minimum Coverage".
3. Disable DHCP server.
Any advice if there is new firmware fixing this issue soon?
RE305 in RE Mode.
Below are the tested topology.
Laptop --- (2.4GHz) --- RE305 --- (2.4GHz) --- Wireless AP (Cisco Meraki).
Laptop --- (5GHz) --- RE305 --- (5GHz) --- Wireless AP (Cisco Meraki).
Laptop --- (2.4GHz) --- RE305 --- (5GHz) --- Wireless AP (Cisco Meraki).
Laptop --- (5GHz) --- RE305 --- (2.4GHz) --- Wireless AP (Cisco Meraki).
- I've tested RE305 very near to the router with SNR >50dB.
- Yes, I'm able to get stable connection for both 2.4GHz/5GHz by directly connecting from laptop to Wireless AP.
- Yes, RE LED stays ON all the time.
- Yes, I did try to use static IP address instead of DHCP from the AP.
I'm currently testing this topology. It seems to be more stable than the previous 4 cases.
Laptop --- (2.4GHz / 5GHz) --- RE305 --- (2.4GHz / 5GHz) --- Wireless AP (Cisco Meraki).
Here is a sample log from the Wireless AP.
Based on Cisco documentation, the reason for "client was deauthenticated" is as follow:
Sending STA is leaving or has left Independent BSS or ESS. Client indicated to the AP that it's disconnecting from the wireless network. Could be from a client going into 'sleep' mode and disconnecting the WiFi radio for battery savings.
Thank you.
