I also think that removing IPv6 didn't helped AT ALL and if IPv6 is not good for those APs (and can be confirmed), then we have a coordination problem here (well the maker has it also from another point of view). Actually when the DHCP was down the first days, I was still able to work, thanks to IPv6 !!!!
