The probable way to keep both bands and solve your problem is in Post #2 of this thread. https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Separate-Bands-with-a-Smarthub-2-or-Pl...

Just install a cheap single band extender upstairs and connect you problematic devices to this.

What has not been suggested is to change the wireless performance mode of the Hub Two. 

This wireless mode allows you to tune your wireless features to give you the best performance with all your wireless devices.
The Hub is automatically set to mode 1, I suggest trying mode 2

From the hubs home page >Advanced settings >Wireless > Wireless mode. 

Mode meanings:-
Mode 1: Gives you the fullest featured wireless, maximising throughput and range.
Mode 2: Some devices can sometimes struggle to use the latest Wireless features, if you have any devices that can't get a good wireless connection, try using this mode. Selecting this mode may reduce the wireless range and throughput but improve connectivity.
Mode 3: Change to this mode if your wireless devices don't perform well using mode 1 or 2. Selecting this mode will reduce the latest features as well as wireless range and throughput compared to Mode 1 and 2. This will allow for the broadest range of devices to operate on the wireless.
The features that are reduced include: power saving procedures, traffic aggregation methods and Multiple Concurrent data streams.
