WNDR3700 used as A AP

Has anyone used the latest firmware 1.0.16.98 with the AP option. I am using with a WNDR4000. Everything is fine for several hours then cannot access GUI or it times out waiting.

    More info, I am also using another another wndr4000 with auto IP checked and it is working fine. 4000 as a router to another 4000 wired as ap with auto ip.... along with a 3700 AP checked back to router the 3700 must be rebooted after several hours to view GUI and or cinnect to. When checking attached devices they both are on list.

    Testing new firmware today so far it looks good. The power led is now green, it had been orange when the AP option was checked. I can access WEB_UI without any delay now and make config adjustments.

    I did a factory reset, loaded firmware, selected AP mode, waited while it rebooted, powered off, connected lan port 1 to switch, waited for it show up on 4000's attached devices, reserved IP of 192.168.0.99 Used IE typed 192.168.0.99 and configured the AP.
