I'm glad to hear that it works for 3 hours :-)  That means the client setup
and access point configurations are correct.  I'm tempted to blame the
access point.  There are rumors on the net that certain brands of AP will
drop out at random intervals and then mysteriously cure themselves.  The
cure was to look on the manufacturer's web site; download and install the
latest firmware version for your AP.
