Devices disassociate, busy log

[Istvanwagon]

Hello,

I am finding that my network is disassociating clients and my log is pretty chatty; here are a few excerpts. Any thoughts on what might be going on here and what I might have to do to fix it? If I have a device on the network which is being accessed externally, how can I isolate it?

Thanks...

What devices are associated with those MAC addresses ?
Energy Saving algorithms and moving clients will be the main reasons for dissociation.

Hi,

Thanks. There are some items which would power save (laptop, iPad) but other items I am not sure would sleep (access point, weather station, ethernet switch).

The promiscuous mode also bothers me. I've had this happened before and it was something I suspected got access to my network from a default password on the device.

Also not sure about the blocked outbound port logs.

Does that give any more clues? I can post more of the log as needed.

Thanks...

Your screenshots are too brief (i.e. lacks context), difficult to read and have much of the relevant information redacted. Post (as a plain text file) the complete unreacted log if you want more help.

Sorry for the delay. Here is an excerpt of the full log. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Band steering is trying to suggest the device move between bands. Maybe turn all the fancy stuff off, like roaming assistant and smart connect, etc. I’ve not used them so I’m not 100% sure which is doing it.

Maybe turn all the fancy stuff off

Indeed. Home network Wi-Fi works much better without any Smart Connect, Beamforming, UL/DL OFDMA + MU-MIMO, Agile Multiband, Airtime Fairness, MLO, etc. lab tested crap bumping "marketing class" numbers only. And this RSSI -85/-88 (dBm) in logs is a client way too far from the router, outside of usable coverage area.

OT: I just counted (using Better Search), and you've posted the word "marketing" 481 times on this forum.

Getting sick of AX16000 and BE30000 already...

The OP has never posted about "speed" or "phone" issues either.

I never addressed the OP about speed and phone issues.

It was probably too difficult to read and confusing, sorry.
