Hello Dónal, We've had similar problems with a similar setup. Here's what we did: 1) Change the channel from the default of 11 to the new value of 13 using the Airport Utility. 2) Activate the 802.11n (5GHz) network on both devices and use drag&drop in the Network pane of System Preferences to make that the preferred network.
It's been rock solid since we did this. Explanation provided by Archie since I know nothing about this subject!
