I have also been getting these same log warning. As others have mentioned, the warnings all occur on the same second (though which second it is changes occasionally). Furthermore, in my case the minutes at which they occur have some regularity. The warnings are always an even number of minutes apart. In other words, the time between each one is always either 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 minutes. 14 is the longest gap I have seen, and it seems to be most often 2, 4 or 6 minute gaps. I haven't noticed any detrimental impact on the wireless connection, but this shows up very regularly in my logs so I'm curious what is causing it.
