Having the same issue. Believe the problem is going to be ios unable to chose from 2.4 or 5 based on signal strength so it bounces back and forth. Had the same issue with another router and assigning different SSIDs to each cleared the issue. Adding an option to be able to assign 2.4 & 5 different SSIDs would be the fix here also. Returning my unit, may think about getting it again if that feature is added.
Try dropping the power way down on the 2.4GHz band.
