  • Definitely not a DHCP lease issue. Leases default to 168 hours, i.e. 7 days, and the disconnect happens within single digits of hours.

    I’m not using WPA. Since TKIP is no longer considered secure enough, I’ve switched to WPA2 CCMP only, which has the additional; benefit of getting rid of the temporary keys than needed to be renewed.

    Also, when a DHCP lease runs out, the client should simply reapply for a new one. Since the device has a permanent DHCP reservation for a static IP (necessary to be able to run a server on it), then at worst that should cause an interruption of service lasting no longer than a second or two.

    Meanwhile the problem I’m having is typically permanent. Once it goes offline, it’s down until I reboot the device.
