What iOS versions are you using on the apple devices?
What wireless channels are you using? Try manual 1, 6 or 11.
Try WPA2 and AES only.
Disable the following:
MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming and test.

Please do a full factory reset and set up from scratch on both router and satellites. While normal official released FW would follow not resetting, this is a Beta FW which probably has major improvements to the code which needs a good clean slate to start from. Doing a reset allows for the code to be seated well and given a chance to work well. You can do a new configuration to file after setting it up for this version of FW as well for later use.
Others have seen follow on problems after updateing however the problems went away after doing a reset and setup again.
