Thanks vigor, I will check that ;-)
I have to say my pine64 access point is pretty solid, it allocates dhcp addresses 10.0.0.1/24 and i connect to it via http and ssh - no problem. I left it running overnight and it was still up this morning.
I noticed - you have to be 7 to 15 feet away from Access point (Pine64) then connection is stable, if you are too close - it does not work at all or unstable.
One thing i noticed about network stack in general, i have to comment out all lines in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
if the ethernet wire not plugged in, then wifi works stable after boot. I am not sure how to handle that, but i would like to run it with only two wifi interfaces - no ethernet wires. The pine64 will be located where there is no wires.
