I can confirm my WNDR3700 v1 exhibits loss of wireless connectivity after several days of uptime. This affects both intermittent and continuously connected clients.
I've experienced this issue on both 1.5.7 and 1.5.8
I have wndr3700v2
I haven't tested to narrow it down but it seems that since upgrading from 1.5.6 to 1.5.8 a couple weeks ago that my WiFi has been very slow. Not sure if it's the firmware or perhaps just the sites I visit as sometimes it seems to be pretty fast.
If you think there's a bug that emerges over time you can schedule your router to reboot once a day in the wee hours of the morning. I might go back to 1.5.6 for a few months.
Fresh install of 1.5.8 went well and is working without problems for an hour or so now on my brand new Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H (got it from woot.com last week for $49). No notable observations yet aside from the fact that the web interface seems VERY snappy and responsive.

You are probably overloading your router
Goto Firewall options and set max connections = 2048
Set TCP/UDP timeouts to 300 or maybe even 150
Apply those and reboot the router.
But my mobile device can still use wifi。。。my pc that use wire and bt is offiline even if I restart the pc。。。

OK I've finally reverted to 1.5.6 on my WNDR3700v2.
I can confirm that there is definitely something wrong with 1.5.8 (I never tried 1.5.7), probably the WiFi but might be the router. Some devices and applications downloaded extremely slowly. Particularly my Android phone when downloading podcasts with Google Listen and when streaming video from www.sbs.com.au/ondemand to my laptop. All fixed after I reverted back to 1.5.6.
