WNDAP350 - deauthenticated due to local deauth request
I have a WNDAP350 AP configed with WPA2-PSK. I am averaging about 40 clients in a high usage environment and and am experiencing random disconnects. I have both radios configured and the N network s...
This is clearly a memory leak in the current firmware. No matter what setting you use if you are streaming a considerable amount of bandwidth the system will eventually provide the following error messages

I've modified a number of settings to provide a somewhat reasonable configuration. I say somewhat in that I'm basing "working" on streaming an HD Netflix video and despite encountering this error message repeatedly the buffer in Netflix is able to mask the error. The configuration I settled on is

Channel / Freequency - Auto
MCS Index / Data Rate - Best
Channel Width - 40mhz
Guard Interval - long 800ns
Output Power - Full
I challenge Netgear to respond to or resolve this issue.
