WAP321 client authentication failure, reason 16

Hi!

I have following internal network setup

RV130 VPN router which has 4 wired clients, among them are:
-TP-Link WA5210G Wireless outdoor access point where connects subnetwork via another WA5210G in remote location
-WAP321 Access point


RV130 router firmware 1.0.2.7
WA-5210G access point firmware 4.4.8 Build 130502 Rel.61441n
WAP321 access point firmware 1.0.6.2


The problem is that WAP321's clients, laptops, tablets experience wireless freeze or drop time to time.
Sometimes just reconnect manually have brought connection up again.
Few times connection has keep on dropping which has been solved removing connection details from client and
then reconnecting with filling up passwords etc.


This problem has been since installation of WAP321 about week now.
Previous I had Netgear wireless router with dhcp disabled proving local wlan without alike problem.
WA-5210G access point situates about 5 metres away outside the building.
It's connection has been a backup although antenna does not give good reception as it is directed away.

I've faced now also this problem

After which reason 16 reappeared.

I've change my other accesspoint WA5210G into channel 1. It is the only other constant AP that Rogue AP search can find.

Security is WPA-personal Aes with simple password.
