My SlimP3 works only occasionally. The Player simply hangs - with the

What if you have 3000 folders in one directory? For example my system is
like this

is it difficult to search? i just want to search the folder name field,

Did it used to work like it should? Any configuration changes?
If it's configured to use DHCP and can't find a DHCP server it will do
that.
Do you have a DHCP server on your network?

You don't need to disable the router. Just don't connect anything to the
WAN port, disable DHCP, and voila, it's an AP.
It should have a static LAN IP in the same subnet as everything else.
Just put it on a different number from your gateway (eg use 192.168.1.2
instead of 192.168.1.1).
