Sorry I may have mis-spoke it is only the Wireless Headset on his Xbox One that is the issue and it is apparently the Xbox One Wifi Direct protocal that uses 5GHZ on the One series.
5G wifi can interfere with your Xbox one controller. Try changing the default channel of your wifi router until the issue clears up. If you have the Astro A50s, avoid the higher channels. ... The Xbox 360 uses 2.4GHz RF for its wireless protocol for controllers and the Xbox One uses 5GHz RF.
