Shawn Wood got a reaction from wildcat_paris in Lamobo-R1 wifi unstable in AP ("host") mode [better buy a good wifi dongle with proper linux support]
And yet another follow up on to my noobie attempts at making this work. I discovered that Hostapd was just eating memory when the service was running. It would go about 24 hours before hosing the board.
So I got a fresh install from Igors downloads (Debian Jessie Vanilla) - and this time I didn't apply any dist-upgrade, update or upgrade to it.
The thing is now running perfectly. I'm getting solid, acceptable performance on the WIFI (it's not sizzling by any means, but given my slow ISP, it is as good as it needs to be). Been running several days and memory use has stabilized (with 800 megs free memory), no lock-ups yet.
So - many thanks Igor for your most excellent images. I'm going to go back and re-image my other Banana Pi's to use these same versions!

@wildcat.
Just wanted to update on this. Using the untouched image for Armbian Debian Jessie - Vanilla, on my Lamoba-R1 (with only an apt-get update and an apt-get dist-upgrad) - I was able to get solid, stable WIFI.
I was originally testing it in an environment with 20 neighbors stepping on the channels, but when I took it to where it will be used - there is no interference. It was streaming 2 HD TV's and running speed tests at once, and delivering data as fast as my ISP allows - which is as good as I could hope for.
So I've got to report that the build is working well. My glitch now is that the board appears to lock up at night. LED is on in the morning, ethernet lights are flickering, but no response from a ping or SSH. Not sure if one of the cron tasks is doing it, or what but will be experimenting with that.
