wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 status_code=16
indicates that your wireless interface (wlan0) tried to associate with an access point (AP) but was rejected.
Here's a breakdown of the components:
Meaning of Key Parts
CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT: This event is triggered by wpa_supplicant to indicate that an association attempt was rejected.
bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00: The BSSID (MAC address of the AP) is either not reported properly or failed to be resolved.
status_code=16: This is a standardized 802.11 status code.
What is Status Code 16?
Status Code 16 = "Authentication rejected due to timeout waiting for next frame in sequence."
This typically means the AP rejected your authentication request due to timing issues, misconfiguration, or compatibility problems.
Possible Causes
excluded/allready tested (Incorrect Wi-Fi password or security settings.)
Mismatch between the device’s and the AP’s authentication/encryption methods (e.g., WPA2 vs WPA3).
MAC filtering is enabled on the AP, and your device is not allowed.
(Driver/firmware issue on your Wi-Fi card.)
Access point bug or firmware issue.
