Okay using a DFS channel isn't great and could be the issue. Go to the next best non DFS channel and see if that works. It should switch to the next strongest signal that it can.

The router is on the 1st floor of my house in the right hand corner of the lounge and the EX7700 is on the 2nd floor in the furthest room to the left of the house. They aren't close to each other but I'm not sure on the exact distance.
