Weird WiFi bug

Okay, so I dug out a TalkTalk HG633 that I got free from TalkTalk and decided to use it as an AP. The 5G network works fine, but when i connect to the 2.4G network, my laptop's WiFI card resets and the network disappears from the list.

Any idea what the problem could be?

BTW, the network works fine on my phone

Desktop: Currently non existent

 

 

Phones: Bush Windows Phone (Yes, that's Argos' own brand) - Samsung Galaxy S4 (Currently just an alarm clock) - 2 x Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 Silver

I am just too far away for the 5G network to be usable. I'm only getting around 15mbps down instead of the 30mbps. Before I swapped the HG633 for my Draytek, my laptop connected perfectly so I don't think it's a problem with the router
