List,

How many beacons a wifi device or AP is allowed to miss?

Some wifi device will disassociate after it misses 4 beacons to 10 beacons.
I know Qualcomm Android phone will disassociate after it misses 4 beacons.

Is any standard for this?

Thanks.

Try looking at the mac80211 layer and in particular net/mac80211/mlme.c.
Check the values of IEEE80211_BEACON_LOSS_COUNT, max_probe_tries, etc.
