This feature is enabled, is it work disabling, forcing a 5.0g connections?

Ok, whilst by turning smart switching off has improved things the issue is not totally resolved. Intermitently I will still get some devices (more noticeable on apple devices) lossing network connectivity to the network and when rejoining get the message that password does not exist.

Has anyone else had similar problems, or can recommend further problem determination steps?
Any help is appreciated.
