repeated log entries after update

[kev2021]

Hi,

So just been looking around after firmware update and I am seeing the below entry multiple times, then it shops for a bit and then several entries again and keeps repeating…

<date time> roamst: sta[Mobile phone mac address] on ap[5G mac address], rcpi is XX and rssi is -XX

I’m literally getting in excess of 50 line entries each one the same or seconds after the previous

After the batch of lines it will then say:

<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(539): eth7: Auth MAC_ADDRESS, status: Successful (0), rssi:0
<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(568): eth7: Assoc MAC_ADDRESS, status: Successful (0), rssi:-68

What is this all about?

The Mac address on the multiple repeating lines I’ve traced to be my mobile phone which is showing connected and all ok.

The 2 lined referring to wlceventd….. etc is referring to another device int he house again which is ok so not sure what this is all about?

Any ideas?

I’ve no duplicate IP addresses, incase makes any difference both the 2 devices above are on 5G but I have other devices on 5G and are not creating these log entries.

I’ve switch WIFI off on my phone, it shows disassociated on log, left it a bit, turned WIFI o phone back on but still multiple entries in log file again. Not sure what it doesn’t like?

The router is only thing in house so its not roaming between APs and it keeps giving the same mac address entries on ever line, only thig changing very slightly is the rcpi and rssi numbers but not on ever entry only occasional ones i.e. I got 4 rows exactly the same, then 2 the same, then 8 the same etc… bit odd.

Ram usage is 48% and on CPU core 1 is no more than 10% or a brief couple of seconds then its back to 0, 1, 3 etc so its not going much at all, other 3 cores are mostly zero, occasionally the show a number but again few seconds at most.

Thanks

Kev

Hi, so done a bit of looking around and maybe this is linked to it…

I think the roamast maybe referring to Roaming Assistant? If so, it is currently Enabled and it says next to it Disconnect clients with RSSI lower than -70dBm.

So I’ve disabled roaming assistant and the multiple lines have stopped…

Had a few entries of various auth, reassoc etc so just waiting for it to settle down and hopefully be back to normal.

Now jut giving it a bit of time to wait and see.

I have some entries referring to Eth6 and Eth7, what are these referring to? I don’t have 6 or 7 ethernet ports on the router so not sure what it means… Could it be this:-

Port

1 = WAN
2 = 2.5G
3 = Port 2
4 = Port 3
5 = Port 4
6 = 2.4ghz WIFI
7 = 5ghz WIFI

?? I know usually they start from 0 but just wondering if Asus started from 1 as this is only thing I can think of.

An example

<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(539): eth7: Auth MAC_ADDRESS, status: Successful (0), rssi:0
<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(549): eth7: ReAssoc MAC_ADDRESS, status: Successful (0), rssi:-69
<date time> kernel: wl0: random key value: <KEY VALUE>
<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(520): eth6: Disassoc MAC_ADDRESS, status: 0, reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS (8), rssi:0
<date time> wlceventd: wlceventd_proc_event(520): eth6: Disassoc MAC_ADDRESS, status: 0, reason: Disassociated because sending station is leaving (or has left) BSS (8), rssi:0

This is a mobile phone which is now showing on 5ghz so would imply it has switched from 2.4ghz to 5g wifi.

Correct I believe, eth6 and eth7 are the radios 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

But to make sure, try typing nvram get sta_phy_ifnames CMD as see what this tells us about which  ‘ethx’ ports are your actual wifi ports ?
