Cisco AP540N Users Losing Connection

Hi Everyone,

Recently, one of our customers have been experiencing connection issues with this model of AP. It is only used for connections in a boardroom. After doing some searching, its apparent that this is a known issue with this model and there are various suggestions on how to resolve it. Clients can connect to the AP but are then randomly disconnected without any reason.

Here is a log ouput:

Oct 26 14:20:32  info  hostapd  wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Assoc request from 00:21:6b:c6:b3:22 BSSID 64:ae:0c:eb:cf:10 SSID Boardroom

Oct 26 14:20:32  info  hostapd  wlan0: IEEE 802.11 STA 00:21:6b:c6:b3:22 deauthed from BSSID 64:ae:0c:eb:cf:10 reason 3

Oct 26 14:20:32  info  hostapd  wlan0: IEEE 802.11 STA 00:21:6b:c6:b3:22 deauthed from BSSID 64:ae:0c:eb:cf:10 reason 1

Searching for those error codes comes up with nothing. The firmware is currently on AP541N-K9-2.0(2). This was also occurring on the previous firmware. I have made changes ranging from lowering the Maximum Stations to testing various channels. All changes reproduce the same issue.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

May want to break out the spectrum analyzer and check for sources of interference.
