A couple things to try.
1. update the firmware.
2. factory reset the extender.
3. during setup of the extender, Uncheck the "extend 2.4ghz" button during setup. You'll still be able to use the 2.4ghz but it won't use it as failover. 2.4ghz is sensitive to interference and is a slow network. I've found disabling it as a failover option helps a lot of people
4. check what 5ghz the current router is broadcasting on. Maybe its has interference and needs to be changed.
