When it is connected, hold the Option key and click the WiFi icon in the menu bar. Under Channel, if it shows 2.4Ghz you need to create a 5Ghz only network on your router and use that one to connect with your Apple devices. That frequency gets easily congested with multiple WiFi devices because it has a limited number of channels and suffers from interference of other devices causing disconnects. Not unusual for a router to "pick" on one device while the others still maintain a connection.
