|
I have a WRT600N connected as client bridge to another WRT600N and was finding that it sometimes became disconnected from he main router, that I could not access it or resources connected to it from the main network.
I am using WPA2 Personal AES for my wifi security.
This article advised to change the key renewal interval.

Quote: | Enter a 0 in the Key Renewal Interval to disable key renewal. If you don’t disable this feature, your 160NL will disconnect at the specified interval and you’ll have to spend time restarting it. |
Doing this seems to have fixed my issue, but I am curious, what exactly is Key Renewal Interval, and do I weaken my security with this change? I changed the setting only on the client bridge router, not the main router.
Thanks |
