Please make sure:
1) the WAN port in your AP is not used
2) all the DHCP servers in your APs are turned off

Yes I am sure because if I unplug all and plug any one of them it work fine , the problem occure only if 2 or more AP are connected , I see on forum they use SWITCH and not HUB is it possible that is the problem because I use HUB ?
Thank you

At least in your context, switch and hub should be the same.
