WILINK-SW: Device is not sending Authentication Replies on Air

Adding AP & STA Mac Address:

sta = c0:38:96:95:f9:8d
ap = 00:11:22:33:44:33

Hi, 

Does the device stop sending the AUTH REQ after a while, or is it missing a few AUTH REQ? Please clarify.

Hi Sudharshan,

It is missing some of the AUTH RESP. Majorly it happens when after Mesh Connection is established with QCA board.

Hi Ravi kant, 

We suspect this could be a possibility as the dual role is handled with the same PHY in a time sharing fashion. If this is impacting the system performance then please let us know and re-open the issue.

HI Sudharshan,

This definitely affects system performance. In the middle of the test run, we cannot connect a hotspot client. I agree there could be time sharing on same PHY could cause some packets to get dropped. But does it means it wont send any response on hotspot vap?  On mesh vap, there is not much traffic. Beacon interval is also in seconds for mesh.

Once this happens, no client is able to connect. Please suggest.

Hi Ravi Kant, 

Does reinitiating the connection request hep in these cases? Please let us know.

Hi Sudharshan,

No, re-initiating doesn't help in making connection
