Thanks for your response. Answer to questions:
1.Firmware is V4.6.5.14
2.Multi-Level Home: Router placed centrally on first floor with 3 satellites, including one upstairs.
3.I changed 5GHZ from auto to 48 and 2.4GHZ to 1.

Anything else I can try?

Awesome thank you I think it worked!
Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
