We have a Meraki MR16 Cloud Managed AP and it disconnects certain clients. The clients with Intel wireless cards work without any disconnects. The Meraki reports the follow in its event log:

Sep 4 09:55:47   WPA authentication      
Sep 4 09:55:47   802.11 association      channel: 11, rssi: 64
Sep 4 09:55:38   802.11 disassociation      client has left AP
Sep 4 09:55:38   WPA deauthentication      vap: 0, radio: 0, aid: 1633956416

An example wireless network card which the Meraki disconnects is Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. The realtek laptop is sat 2 meters away from the AP and has a lot of signal and the Meraki reports minimal interference.

Any ideas why it disconnects non-intel wireless network cards?
