Weird issue with losing network when Shield set to 24hz - Solved

Just thought I'd leave this here since I searched for ages and couldn't find a solution online, so others may find this if they have a similar issue:

So my problem was that I wanted to playback content with the native framerate (ie 24hz for movies in particular). At first I tried this in Netflix and it just wouldn't work. If I ran Shield at 24hz and opened the app I would get a network error, and if I used the refresh rate app to switch inapp it would play the buffered content at the right framerate for a minute before I got an error on the network.

At first I thought it was a Netflix problem, but after trying other apps as well, I experienced the same issues there. After a lot of trial and error, I found a solution that seems to work very well so far, and that was to connect to my routers 5 ghz wireless band, and immediately Shield would perform swell when playing content down to 24hz. So if you have any network issues with the Shield that just doesn't make sense, I'd definitely suggest enabling the 5 ghz band on your router (if it isn't already turned on) and connect to that.

EDIT: Switching to a wired connection seems to work as well.
