I noticed that when pine64 and the client device are too close (couple of feet) connectivity may not work at all, it is more stable if
1. there's at least 6+ feet between them
2. no major metal obstacles on the way (like in my case there were garage gate made of sheet metal) that was blocking connectivity.
I also tried external antenna for Pine64 wifi (5Dbi RP-SMA Antennas), which did not help much. WiFi works okay in the room
if pine is plugged in in one corner of the room and i connect to it from another corner.
ps. Interestingly enough, same garage gate is not an obstacle for RaspberryPI 3 wifi AP.
pps.I would look into syslog on pine64 to see if you can find some clues why connectivity is not established ...
