Mesh Networks and issues with iOS devices

I have a D-Link Mesh router connect between my firewall (router connect to the firewall) and my network switch. Wi-Fi works reasonably well except with iOS devices (not sure about Android) which it constantly drops out but shows still as connected which is a pain as I am constantly having to switch it off and on to get it back up and it lingers as connected when I move out of range . It also shows on iOS devices as week security. This is apparently are known issues (as least the iOS security one which if I knew I would not have bought it) as per links from D-Link US forum site (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=75849.0 and http://forums.dlink.com/index.phptopic=75867.msg308167) seem to indicate issues. Should I dump my Mesh network and get a proper Wi-Fi access point (am looking at the Linksys Business LAPAC1200C (https://www.linksys.com/au/p/P-LAPAC1200C/) as a replacement) or persist? And if persist is the option how could I fix these issues?
