Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry about the confusion the difference between a router and access point, I'm sometimes struggling with the terminology.
I'm running the latest firmware, which at the moment is V1.0.4.17. I couldn't find any documentation on this specific problem.
The router in front of my access point is an Experia Box V12 which I got from my Internet provider. I do not have any custom firewalls or VPNs installed on the router and access point.

A WAC104 in AP mode should be relatively bulletproof.
I'd expect the router to call the shots. Maybe there are some e=settings n that that need tweaking. Do the wifi devices that cause grief on the WAC104 behave differently in the router's wifi?
Unfortunately the router doesn't seem to be something sold into English speaking markets, so I can't find a useful (to me) manual.
Maybe your ISP can help. It supplied the thing after all.
