Possibly fixed!!!
Had previously checked the ethernet cable with a cable tester and all was good. The speed between the AP and the Router was always excellent. Logged into the Access Point this morning and noticed the channel setting for the 5GHz was set to 153, whereas the 2.4 was set to Auto. So changed that setting to Auto, rebooted and perfomed a speed test on the 5 GHz whith my phone. Speed was 116 Mbs, which was normal. Just performed another speed test at a time where it would be below 1 Mbs and voila! It was trucking along at 116, Waiting to see if this solved the problem and not sure why it was set to a single channel.
