Wifi disconnect intermittent due to Capability change

WATGGG222 — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 10:45:39 GMT

We encountered an internet disconnection issue during use. The error message displayed was "no internet". We have already contacted Aruba to investigate the problem and after monitoring for two weeks, We have collect wlanreport of devices that had Wi-Fi disconnection issues. Upon checking the Aruba Wi-Fi system logs, it was discovered that De-Authentication frames were sent from the client side. Furthermore, from the WLAN logs collected from Windows on both devices, there were abnormal logs during the disconnection period, which were:

Capability change on {c1cfcb94-4684-4945-9815-3673a9851d19} (0x47008000000000 Family: V4 Capability: None ChangeReason: SuspectArpProbeFailed)

Despite updating the wireless and Bluetooth drivers to the latest versions, we were unable to resolve this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions about this?

Thank you for raising that issue with us and to investigate this issue further, I have some question for for you to answer regarding this concern.

May I know the drivers version installed in you device?
What is the wireless adapter of your device?
Do you update your windows?

Please generate an SSU report to help me further analyze important details on your system. To generate the SSU report, please refer to the article: How to get the Intel® System Support Utility Logs on Windows*. Please send us the generated SSU.txt file.

I look forward to your response!

Hi John,

Sorry for the late reply. For your question we didn't update windows recently, most laptops in our organization use Intel wireless adapter and their version is not the same. The issue occurs to a lot of users after we try to use EAP-TLS authentication. As your request I've attach the SSU report and Wlanreport from some users that facing this issue before. Please help us identify the root cause of this issue.

Hi WATGGG222,

Thank you for your response. For us to troubleshoot this issue, kindly update the drivers first using OEM drivers. Kindly follow the steps below:

Perform a clean installation of the latest wireless drivers available. The latest driver can be downloaded in our Download Center. If applicable, you may want to check the Original Equipment Manufacturer's website for customized drivers.
Make sure you have the recommended settings for the wireless standard: Recommended Settings for 802.11n Connectivity, Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity, and Recommended Settings for 802.11ax Connectivity.
Update BIOS to the latest version. To check how to perform the BIOS update, please contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer.
Confirm there are no pending Windows updates.
Try connecting to another network if available, and test if the issue persists.
Try connecting to another access point (AP) or router and test if the issue persists.
Make sure the router or access point (AP) is well configured. We recommend contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to ensure this.

And also, may I ask if you have tried to use a different access point?

While you're doing the steps above, I will coordinate this internally to check this concern regarding the network.

Best regards,

Hi WATGGG222,

Thank you for patiently waiting. I have some clarification regarding this issue for me to replicate the issue on my end.

1. How many devices are affected by the issue?

2. The access point you've mentioned is within the same network? Are you able to check if your device is able to connect a phone WIFI hotspot without any issues.

3. Can you share the brand and model of your access points where you are experiencing issue with?

Dear John,

I'm working with WATGGG222 and trying to solve the issue. I would like to provide additional information to you.

1. How many devices are affected by the issue?

Ans: Around 30-40 devices which is randomly occur.

2. The access point you've mentioned is within the same network? Are you able to check if your device is able to connect a phone WIFI hotspot without any issues.

Ans: Yes the Access Point is in the same network. those laptop will facing the issue when using SSID that using EAP-TLS Protocol
but when connect with other SSID using EAP-PEAP Protocol or home network it working just fine.

FYI, intermittent internet connectivity issues occur after devices successfully authenticate. The users said that they just using devices normally and then the "No Internet" issue happen as I show you in the picture. This issue occur after we try EAP-TLS via cloud authen and we already check from our end that the authentication is working fine.

3. Can you share the brand and model of your access points where you are experiencing issue with?

Ans: Aruba AP505, AP515, AP615 and AP635.

4. The wireless adapter of the device is Intel Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX201, Intel® Wi-Fi AC 9560.

5. Previously all laptop connect to SSID that using EAP-PEAP authentication protocol and working just fine. We facing the issue after

we create new SSID (on the same Access Point system) with using EAP-TLS authentication method to Cloud Auth Server.

6. We search information and found that those wireless adaptor that facing issue is using CNVi or CNVio module, could this module can cause the issue? Why it working fine with SSID using EAP-PEAP authentication protocol?

Hi WATGGG222,

Thank you for patiently waiting while I'm investigating this issue. Kindly follow the steps on Quick Checks to Improve or Fix Wi-Fi Connection Issues for recommended Channels for 2.4GHz /5GHz and 802.11ac/802.11ax settings.

Also, I suggest updating your drivers to the latest generic drivers 23.110.0 or the latest OEM driver and then check if the EAP-TLS certification is enabled from AP settings, Cloud Auth Server and OS.

To enable the process:

Create an access point in the connection settings. For WLAN security, choose 802.11.EAP-TLS etch should show up plugins etc under this option. You'll need to switch tabs by pressing the right and left arrows to get to the EAP-TLS-specific settings. Remember to enable EAP-TLS with the left option key after you configure it.
