WNDAP360 losing connection
So I have a WNDAP360, running the latest 2.1.1 firmware. It is setup to be as basic as possible. I have disabled the QoS features, and set the channel. I looked with inSSIDer and got my 2 most free...

I exhaustively tested many configurations and finally found one that the AP seems stable for me for a small number of clients (I haven't tested more than 5 clients simultaneously connected) with both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz enabled. The key seemed to be disabling QoS along with some other advanced settings (AP client isolation, etc).
Previous to disabling QoS, the router would frequently reboot at random while in use (judging by ssh uptime). Now it has been up for 7+days and still going strong. I'm still very disappointed that Netgear has released this somewhat pricey business-class AP with unstable firmware (it doesn't work out of the box) however at least now the AP is somewhat usable (albeit without QoS) and hopefully a future firmware update will resolve this.
I'm posting pics of my configuration in case it helps someone else.
