Dear supporters,

But yesterday onwards iam facing the error 4-way handshake timeout (15) error I dont know why i had done site survey and i came to no that no interfierence with tht channel andBut still having the same issue

Iam using RB532 with 2.9.27 oS , please suggest me the correct solution, iam lossing my business, i appreciate ur sincere advice

Thanks,

Someone is sabotaging your network. Nothing new.
What settings do you have for the wireless? Security I mean. What kind of antennas? Directional or sector usually help to find at least the direction of the saboteur. Afterwards use binoculars in that direction :slight_smile:

its Omini directional anteena and for security settings iam using WPA TKIP

if some one is trying to down my network i should find the frequency in the wireless scan, how its possible please tell me with binoclous i can see anything because mine is a congested city and cant fine that much easy

Please help me

Thanks,

Rumors tell that using TKIP is as safe as using WEP :slight_smile:
It is about time to drop the omni antennas and start being serious.

Yes, use AES, it’s much more secure

I just bought RB433AH , and replaced and now that error is not getting and all the clients are connected and now stable but there is a huge drop in packets and ping is getting 200 to 300ms to the GW , 3 days back all was fine and now there is ahuge problem please tell me the proper solution

and MCP as u suggested me to drop the omi antennas u mean u want me to replace the anteenas with sector , please tell me clearly

and there is no chance to use sector antennas as because only available channel 14th tht is 2.484 all the other frequesies are interfering in our location

Normis please help me , is this issue related to anteena or antenna cable as here its monsoon season and does it affect the anteena or antenna connectors

Please help me

Thanks,

Did you use a spectrum analyzer, if not interference or another device (non-802.11..) can be on any channel and will not show on channel scan/usage ?

I assume you have checked other channels on vertical polarity have you tried horizontal,

Can you go to 5.8 band ?
