the wireless on the shub2 is the best out of all the shubs and if it was working fine before and now it isn't then we need to look at what has changed. The chances are that somebody has set up a new router in close proximity to yours and they are both trying to use the same channel. Some come setup to use channel 6 by default. You could try manually changing it to 1 or 11 and see if it makes any difference or you could go the next step and download an app called wifi analyser on your phone/tablet which will scan the spectrum and see what access points are out there, tell you their ssids, what channel they are running on and the signal strength. Hopefully you will see your shub using channel 6 (as an example) and another ap with a strong signal using the same channel. All you need to do is change the channel you are using to one which the other ap is not.

Tbh though dude, unless you are looking for range, why don't you just 5ghz all the time?
