Hardware: wrt3200acm
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r52242

Clients on wifi are losing connectivity many times per day. I'm not in a heavily congested area. When this happens, turning wifi off/on at the computer resolves the issue. Wifi reset is the only thing which will fix the issue. Waiting doesn't work and other clients are working fine when this occurs. Looking at /var/log/messages, see the following for the time period in question. What would cause a machine which is active to be deauth? The message: "deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)" seems odd because this machine is in use when the problem occurs.

researching the error points to this setting: "disassoc_low_ack=1" as a potential fix. Where should this be placed such that it will survive upgrades and reboots? Does it go in the gui or editing a file?

Kinda curious why this is popping up all the sudden. Been working well for months... kinda odd.


TIA
