DSL-AC56U drops 5Ghz connections

JoJ

New Around Here
I saw someone else had a similar problem to this with USB connection and got no reponses.

I have had this problem with two dsl-AC56U routers (I had the first one replaced). The wireless drops the 5Ghz connections. When you look for available networks, it usually takes a few seconds to become visible and can be connected to. However, after a shortish period of time, the connection drops and the client reverts to the 2.4Ghz connection. I particularly need 5 Ghz for my iPad Pro. When using it's Bluetooth facility at the same time, internet data transfer speeds half. On the 5Ghz band, this does not happen. I haven't checked if Bluetooth is interferred with on other devices, but they lose the 5 Ghz connection without Bluetooth being on anyway.

I feel certain I just need to tweak something, but I don't know where to start. Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.
