this message is appearing hundreds of times. I don't use the device, so 
its more of a neatness thing but it also makes it difficult to use logs 
when this error pops up every single second.

It doesn't begin at boot, usually after a few hours. But if I do plug it 
into my router instead of using WiFi, it connects and works.
