Hi,

I realized in the system log of my FritzBox 7170 that my Asus (Oleg's firmware 7f) regularly disconnects and immediately reconnects ("angemeldet" means connected, "abgemeldet" means disconnected):

As you can see on one day it's every hour (to the minute!) the other day just every two hours.

The crontab in both devices is empty, but I don't know what jobs both devices do regularly through daemons or other parts of their firmware.

Anybody an idea what is the reason or how to fix it or find out which device is causing this?


Cheers,

Frederik.

What is a Fritzbox exatly ? A DSL modem?
fredlcore

Yes, a DSL-Modem-WLAN-VoIP-Router which is one of the most popular of its kind in Germany.

Are youusing the WL500 as AP Only ?

How is the wl500 connected to your fritzbox ?
fredlcore

It's connected wireless in Hybrid mode (WDS and AP).

Just tell us more about your config DHCP, and so on... I've never used the WL500 as a repeater....

DHCP is done by FritzBox. In Hybrid mode it behaves just like a normal Access Point with the difference that it also acts as a repeater.
However, in the device listing of the FritzBox, only my Siemens SE515 is actually listed as a repeater, the Asus appears as a client. This might be due to its hybrid mode.

What makes me wonder is the exact time of the disconnects, which is why I don't think it's a configuration issue. There must be some kind of watchdog or something like that that is executed every hour. Sometimes this results in a disconnect, sometimes it doesn't. There is a watchdog in Oleg's (and also ASUS') firmware, isn't it? Does it do anything with the wireless configuration?

Hi,

I think I found a solution, although I don't understand why:

When I do a "wl PM 1" and thus set the driver power-save mode from "constantly awake" to "power-save", the disconnects disappear.
I could understand the disconnects in "power-save"-state, as I have experienced this with my PCMCIA-card, but in "constantly-awake"-state?

And anyone knows what mode no. 2 ("FAST PS mode") is? Is it a faster (but more energy-consuming) mode? Or does it fall asleep faster?

Any hints welcome,

Frederik.
