Hi There,
So, I've got some odd behaviour with my router and I can't figure out what the hell is happening!! I have the same problem whether I use my RT-AC86U, I then dug out an old RT-AC68U, and recently just purchased an RT-AC88U -- ONLY ONE IN USE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. It only has 2.4GHz enabled, but does have an EERO for the 5GHz which is in bridge mode, all IOT stuff is mostly SONOFF branded (Mostly light switches, 3 or 4 plugs, 1 usb), with the odd few extras being my Haier fridge freezer and my GeoTrio II IHD supplied by Octopus Energy.
The current router in use is the ASUS RT-AC88U, running 386.12 from asuswrt-merlin and my ISP is Sky (So I used this forum to figure out the IPv6 stuff making it connect - it was a google search of that, that led me to this forum a few months ago)
I've had this exact problem no matter what router I use, what basically happens is that for some unknown reason ALL my IOT devices get kicked off the network!! This is a recent thing though, they'd been working fine for a long time without issue. I've not personally added any new on unknown devices. I did build a Deauth Detector (https://github.com/SpacehuhnTech/DeauthDetector) which does get triggered but if I'm honest, I'm not 100% on how reliable it actually is!
I've attached a snippet of my syslog - it is full of deauths!
EG: Sep 10 22:36:25 syslog: wlceventd_proc_event(494): eth1: Deauth_ind 2C:F4:32:A9:8F:4D, status: 0, reason: Deauthenticated because sending station is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS (3), rssi:0
There doesn't seem to be a consistent time at which it happens (Eg, never seems to happen at the same time day after day) and if I reboot the router, all seems well again for a good 24 hours ish.
I can't force PMF only because the sonoff devices just won't connect (they obv don't support it) so currently PMF is set to "capable". FWIW the same issue happens when PMF is disabled also.
I really appreciate any advice or thoughts anyone might have! Many thanks in advance
EDIT: Just to add, I've already tried setting to just 20MHz, legacy mode, PMF disabled and a bunch of other things found on reddit and the internet but to no avail
