Whilst this problem appears to be device specific (other tablets, PC's, Mac, and phones) are OK it appears to have some connection to this router and firmware. I have another RT-N66U router running dd-wrt and this problem does not occur (although that is at another location).
You can search on Google and find lots of complaints about Google Nexus WiFi problems after upgrading from the early versions of Android Kit Kat. And that was a big mistake on my part because I've had problems ever since. I've applied all the updates. Recently it seems to have got worse. The problem is WiFi dropping and reconnecting frequently, but sometimes it does not reconnect quickly. Playing streaming video is at times very difficult.
I have experimented with various settings including using N only, different channel bandwidth, and changing control channel settings after doing a site survey. I probably need to do this more scientifically but cannot pin it down. 2.4GHz is generally easier to connect with and maintain than 5GHz.
Just wondering if there is anything I might have missed, or if there is anything problematic with this version of Merlin (which I doubt).
