25feet maybe too close, try 30feet.
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO.
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

30ft is in the garden, so no can do

both enabled
20/40 not really best idea setting to 40 in an area with a lot of 2.4ghz wifi connections being broadcast
daisy chain is disabled
fast roaming enabled so it can connect to the satellites quicker
ipv6 settings not available in ap mode

Try settin the power output levels from 100% to 75% or 50% and see if this changes anything.
