Which devices are we talking about here? Where do you see these messages?
Have you tried to get these wifi clients to "forget" the wifi connection and then join it again?
Wifi is a two-way process, source and client. It helps to look at both sides.
It might help if you told people what the modem is in front of this router, if there is one. The model number could be useful. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
The reason for asking is that a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.
