Introduction
Receiving the Sender is Leaving (has left) BSS log message.
Core Issue
This is an informational message, not an error.
When a client is associated to the Access Point (AP), that forms a Basic Service Set (BSS). BSS is an AP, a client, and the association between them.
Resolution
This message is an indication that an associated client has roamed (associated to another AP).
Possible reasons for this follow:
- The configuration of the AP to which the client was originally associated may have changed. This change may no longer match the configuration of the clients.
- The client(s) may have moved outside of the cell area, or radio coverage area, of the AP.
- The client may have shut down.
To find out what specifically is causing the log message, examine the client behavior and troubleshoot the client if necessary.
We can also find same information under "Diagnostics : Statuses and Reasons".
In case the error message is:

Resolution
