Default WiFi Jam

Hi,

I have a problem with ghost WiFi shown on my AP.
It sometimes kill my WiFi at home, usually I cannot reconnect.
Weird things:
Cannot be seen on windows WiFi network when scanned,
Cannot be seen in Network Stumbler
Cannot be seen in Android WiFi Analyzer
I can see only in WRT54G with tomato software (v 1.27) in Device List.
It has MAC 02:0E:2E:8A:50:A1 (seems fake) no RSSI and Quality always 95.
Its disappearing for 1-2 second every 10-20 seconds.
I assume if this WiFi got a MAC address it is WiFi device not just wireless interference.
Can you please have any advice?

Default Mac

Hi,

I ran Wireshark to see what is going when connected second AP (Tomato WRT54GS).
MAC address according to Wireshark is Microsoft Network Load Balancing (NLB).
02-0e-00-00-00-00/16 MS-NLB-PhysServer-14
Still do not know which device (comp) sends it, as this is broadcast message.
Only one AP is affected.
However my WiFi still sometimes experience reconnecting problem. Wifi Signal is going up and down (periodically).
Will investigate that up and down of the signal is related to timing with NLB broadcasting.
NB I had to switched off wireless in router Draytek 2820 due to periodic loss of wireless.

Any suggestions...
