Googlebait - resolving WiFi issues: "Received Deauthentication"
Just recently solved a WiFi issue and thought I should throw the solution out there for anyone having the same problem.
The problem: A D-Link DIR-655 WAP (hardware version A3) was continually disconnecting (or failing to allow to connect for several hours) a PC which used an Asus USB Wireless Network device. The relevant log entry on the wireless point was as follows:
Wireless system with MAC address {MACaddress here} disconnected for reason: Received Deauthentication
Other computers were having no problem with connecting to the wireless network, so I initially assumed the problem was with the PC or the USB hardware. Multiple months of research, troubleshooting and testing commenced, for little result.
Eventually, I tracked the problem to the router's firmware. Updating it to v1.37NA using this link solved the issue. No disconnections, and establishing the initial link became nearly instantaneous.
I mention it here mostly because the "Received Deauthentication" error appears to have plagued D-Link routers for quite a few years, given the number of pages on the internet which talked about it and tried assorted resolutions (usually unsuccessfully).
