AP30's disconnecting all wireless clients

$

I've been having issues with my Astaro AP30's disconnecting all the wireless clients on the network. It seemed to start happening around v8.203 and I have never had this issue before (been using the AP30's since they were released).

I currently have 3 SSID's (all using WPA2 Personal). Two are Bridge to LAN (Client isolation off). The third is a guest network that is isolated on a separate VLAN. When this issue happens it cripples all three.

So I did some searching on the forums and found some problems that were kind of similar but with no solutions yet. I opened a ticket with Astaro and they told me they couldn't help because I was a home license (even though I bought roughly $500 worth of hardware from them).

I have tried using the up2date package that upgrades the Astaro to v8.300 but since I have done that it has gotten way worse.

It looks as if the clients are getting disconnected because of some WPA issues? All the clients can see the wireless network but can't connect. For example if I try and reconnect on my iPhone it keeps asking for the password and it never accepts it. Also due to this wireless clients can't get a DHCP IP. There also seems to be no exact time this happens, but I have been seeing it happen roughly once or twice every 12 or so hours.

I have pinged both AP30's during the issue with no timeouts and all pings are under 1ms.

I have turned on awed debugging via the following method:
Code:

/var/mdw/scripts/awed stop
awed.plx --debug

See the log attached for a small portion of the log (it's 65MB as it happened last in the middle of the night). The beginning of this log file is when the problem started. It continues on until 10am in the morning (when I fixed it).

The only thing that seems to fix it (temporarily) is either a reboot (power cycle) of the AP's or a stop/start of awed.

This whole issue is annoying as I spent good money for these AP30's thinking they were reliable and right now they are worthless.

Has anyone else been experiencing these issues? Are there any fixes currently for this or is there an ETA for a fix?

Any help or information would be much appreciated! Thanks!
