What is "Disable Inactivity Polling" in the advanced wireless settings for an AP?
I get a lot of :

that kills my AP.

I wonder if "disassociated due to inactivity" is significant so I'm trying a big number in "Station inactivity limit".

Disconnect due to inactivity is normal with clients like smartphones that put their radio to sleep for long times to save power. The client should simply reconnect when it has something to send. This should not "kill the AP".

Did you unplug the USB card at 2:27 or did it crash disconnect by itself? The latter often means there is insufficient DC power.

I have a USB-C Power Supply, 5.1V 3.0A, Black, UL Listed
Do I need more amps?
I didn't unplug it until way after.
That's what it said when it stopped working.

I am using both USB 3 ports.
One is a USB3 to ethernet adapter and the other is a USB 3 wifi adapter.
