What brand and model is the phone?
Does this happen with other wifi devices on the 2.4Ghz radio?
Do you have Smart Connect disable?
Using channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz same thing happens?

Cooling: Its recommended to install a USB laptop cooler under the router for 24/4 cooling. Helps keep the router cool and helps avoid heat damage to the electronics.
Enjoy.
