[SOLVED] "deauthenticated due to inactivity" after seconds

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi all, I'm running the latest davidc502 build (7210) on a Linksys WRT32x. I'm seeing multiple clients on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios frequently getting "deauthenticated due to inactivity". I appreciate that there is a real inactivity limit of 300s, but I'm regularly seeing clients get disconnected with this reason less than 30s after authenticating.

Example:

Authenticated and kicked off within 23 seconds...

Any bright ideas?

Add:

option disassoc_low_ack '0'

In your '/etc/config/wireless' under the 'wifi-iface' section

Thanks, that seems to have sorted it out

Ta, I'd been wondering if there was a mechanism to do that. Hadn't thought of such a simple solution :slight_smile:
