Oct 24, 2016Incorrect log messages
I have two Wireless security cams that are saving video to a NAS (Buffalo drive on readyshare with no password).
However, in my router logs I have;

Today I reverted to my previous modem unit and my internet service is now fully restored and working properly.
The cam messages are still appearing, such as;
[WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:ca, Friday, October 28,2016 19:35:33
The operation of the cams, their http access and the ftp connection to the NAS is all working properly. I'll just live with the messages. I don't know why they occur but I suspect it's when the cams both want ftp access concurrently (it's the only theory which seems to fit).

Oct 25, 2016Yes, they're my cameras. I can access their web interface via Wireless, they can save video to my NAS by wireless, but they keep throwing that access message. Not sure what's going on. They also update via NTP and that works.
I have the ftp setup with no password (wireless only no http), so the cams have authentication "on", the username set as "guest" and no password. I also tried turning authentication "off" but the result was the same.

If you turned off the wireless encryption on the router, will it show the same logs?

By changing the router wireless to "None" instead of WPA2-PSK[AES]?

That's right.
Let's try to isolate and see whether if you will get the same message under logs.
By the way, what's the brand of those cameras?
Do you have the latest firmware installed on the router?
