I wanted to add I had similar issues when I used to have my 2.4ghz and 5ghz on 
the same SSID.  I separated them with different names so that I can select 
which one to connect to.  Also, after connecting to both with my devices, my 
devices will select whichever one it thinks has better signal strength at the 
time.  5ghz might be faster, but if for some reason it can't connect to that 
and connects to the 2.4ghz, it at least can connect, and it's still usually 
enough bandwidth for what I want to do with the device (even streaming on the 
TV).
