384.19 AC3100 Disassociated because sending station is leaving

[nr1864]

My router is borderline unusable at this point. Disconnects every 15 minutes. I've attached the syslog.
What I've done so far to try to fix this:
-Disabled smart connect (Wireless/General)
-Disabled 2.4 Band (Wireless/Professional)
-Disabled Airtime Fitness, Multi-User MIMO, as well as both the beamforming services.

Below is a snippet of the syslog of what I believe is causing the frequent disconnects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me crazy.

I suggest you turn off automatic channel selection for 5GHz. Set it to channel 44 with a bandwidth of 80MHz. See if that reduces some of the "noise" in the log.

Then have a look on the router for your client's received signal strength. I suspect it is too weak. If so that might be because there is too much RF noise in your environment.

@nr1864 This is an ASUS mistake in their closed source code. As quoted by RMerlin -

wlceventd is unrelated to DHCP. It's a daemon Asuswrt runs to detect wireless client connecting/disconnecting. There's a bug in the closed source code that has debugging output getting logged even if debugging is disabled (it doesn't properly check the debug flag state).

[Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.13 is now available

I believe that should work. My stubby.yml has the 127.0.0.1@53 entry too. Following is what I was using for the stubby installer asuswrt-merlin script: Yes, I wondered. But the native stubby at FW Merlin has only marked the IPV4 range. By default, IPV6 is disabled. But in my scenario, i enable...

I have tried doing that. It was good for a few hours. However I'm quickly getting the disconnects again.

The devices are literally feet away from the router, in the same room together. Signal strength to router shouldn't be an issue.

Can you post the new log for us to look at.

Unless there's something physically wrong with the router. Whilst unlikely these things do occasionally happen, even straight out of the box. Checking what the RSSI is (System Log - Wireless Log) might give an indication of that.

My log is flooded with these for my smart tv that connects wireless. no idea why i just ignore it. I figure cause when its off its constantly broadcasting for when to be woke remotely? Its very strange. but it connects and runs fine. Is there a way to stop it from logging? Edit: just read above that its bugged. figures.

Install latest Merlin firmware, then using AMTM, install scribe and uiscribe. That will at least separate those messages out of the main syslog and get rid of the clutter.

thanks I'll try that.

What log settings should I be set to so I can remove all this 'clutter'? Then I'll upload a fresh log. Currently I'm set to debug being the default message log level, with all being logged.

Don't remove the clutter, at the moment it's useful for debugging your problem. I never asked you to do that, that was a response by another poster to a different person's issue. I asked you to set a fixed channel so that it would eliminate the client disconnections when the channel changed.

Have you checked the RSSI yet?

EDIT: You can leave the logging levels at their default values because I don't think it will change what you're seeing in the logs:
Default message log level = notice
Log only messages more urgent than = debug

I've got the 5g set to the fixed channel you had specified. 2.4G is disabled. I restarted router, all is working well so far. However, that's usually how it goes. When I get the Disassociated because sending station is leaving message, my internet acts weird. I'm not disconnected, but some websites I loose connection to. Like I can go on google, youtube, but can't go on snforums, facebook, etc. I know my modem is okay, because I can ping those websites. Would LOVE to get this issue resolved. And I assume its related to the disassoc error, as that error only shows up when my internet gets wonky.

I'm not sure how to get the exact RSSI value from the router. However, from the network map, the router has full bars for the 5G signal, same as the client device.

I got a fresh log running, I'll upload it once the problems happen again.

do you have IGMP snooping turned on on your 2.4ghz network? I had something very similar happening until i turned that off. Do you have another other wireless extenders connected to the main router?

I have 2.4 channel completely disabled. And no, no extenders are connected to the router. And all devices are in the same room.

Here is the newest log. The internet is really weird. I'm using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for my WAN & LAN DNS. I'm not straight up disconnected. But loose access to all websites that aren't owned by google.

There's no log file.
