I FUCK LINEN IN MY SPARE TIME!

The 2.4Ghz network is easily crowded and it's not unusual for an adapter to freak out while trying to maintain connection to a 2.4 network among the noise. I'm not at all surprised to see 5Ghz be the part that works best.

In spite of Qualcomm Atheros being usually pretty nice, it may be a good idea to try a different wireless adapter. You may even want to snag a wireless bridge if the problem persists. I don't think the issue is with the PC or OS itself.

That said, disable the Windows Firewall. The one on your router probably works just fine.
