[WNAP210] fail to access after a while

Hello, I have a WNAP210 access point and it is working very well, except for one strange thing. I usually have 1 or 2 clients connected to the access point but every three weeks i have to reboot...

Rilex,

Thanks for the reply,

here are the logs from before restarting:

I don't know what the deauthenticated due to local deauth means, maybe you can help me.

I am running firmware:WNAP210_2.0.12

Is it possible to periodically restart the access point so i don't have to do this manually?

Hope you can help me.

thnx in advance.


I am experiencing this exact issue with one of my customers. It seemed to work better for awhile by restricting the channel use to 20 MHz, but now they're starting to experience the same issue - restarting the AP works sometimes, but not always. There's only 2-3 wireless devices (iPad's and iPhones).
