WNDAP660 Connectivity Issues
I'll try to keep this story as short as possible. I run a small office and about two years ago I upgraded an older netgear G only access point to a newer WN203. All was well for about a year. Then I...

Thanks for your suggestions but as stated previously my WNDAP660 locks in BOTH 2.4 and 5GHZ with AMPDU enabled with 20/40 Dynamic Channel Bandwidth.
Currently the ONLY thing that fixes the problem is disabling AMPDU.
My 2 WNDAP660's have now been running for 2 weeks without issue.
However as esaym says this is not really acceptable for a business class router with 802.11n.
This looks like a firmware issue to me with AMPDU handling. All the suggestions so far do not fix the locking of the channels except disabling AMPDU.
Is this accepted by Netgear as a bug right now?
Regards
David

So far I'm a week in and problem free. I only have disabled WMM power save and have AMPDU enabled. The other differences in my network are that the Comcast router is in Bridge Mode. Previosly it was not and I had just turned off the radios. And I don;t have a Firestick connected to my TV any longer. I'm not sure if those items effected the operation of the WAP.
