Info I got from D-Link:
"If the connection is dropping after a few seconds -- then a couple of things to check:  Wi-Fi password entered not matching, mismatching encryption settings, beyond the range of coverage --probably not the case for the user, or might be a incompatibility issue.

The DGL-5500 has been tested with Broadcom based, Intel based, and Realtek based adapters - so I do not think that this is the issue.

The DGL-5500 has been tested by the Wi-Fi Alliance in their test bed for compatibility with other adapters from different vendors."

Here's a speed test i did on my HTC One on single AC mode: http://i.imgur.com/5PBiLuZ.png
and one on 2.4GHz N mode: http://i.imgur.com/92qOpOU.png

How far is the HTC away from the 5500?
Are there any other devices online while you are testing speeds?
Do you get the same speeds when testing wired?
Do you have access to a different AC supporting device to test for a comparison?
Are there any other devices online the main host site and router during this speed test since you have a bridge between the 5500 and the ISP modem/router?

The AC speeds is showing hear what your getting since you said you set the SB for 15/10 right? 2.4Ghz seems low...

Correct, I'm getting the speeds I set on the 5GHz band, but on 2.4GHz, I'm losing speed. As far as I'm aware, there shouldn't be any devices connected to the main host besides my bridge. I'll test by connecting directly to the bridge and then connecting to the dgl-5500 directly via ethernet. I did the test 5 feet away from the router.

[FurryNutz]

Ok, See if you can test a different 2.4Ghz device if possible with the 5500s WiFi...if that does the same thing then possible there could be some interferences on the 2.4Ghz radio...

I might also try to get the 5500 farther away from the bridge, as far as possible. Even though channels are different, could still be some noise by the bridge being that close.

same laptop/distance 2.4GHz wireless N: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3249074537.png
some speed may be lost due to distance, but i'll work on decreasing that distance.

[FurryNutz]

Need to test LT at same distance as you did with the HTC as well for comparison.
Also test same devices, same distance with HT-20/40Mhz Co-exhistence enabled and then disabled.

LT 5ft 2.4GHz: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3249088899.png
2.5GHz, i lost some speed but not enough to notice slowdowns: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3249094884.png

LT connected directly to router: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3249101161.png
LT connected to bridge: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3249113512.png

Also test same devices, same distance with HT-20/40Mhz Co-exhistence enabled and then disabled.

Then see if you can move the 5500 farther away from the bridge...far as possible...might incur getting a long LAN cable.  

Seems like the 5Ghz is working better now or well, however 2.4Ghz is now the focal point? 

[Hunter X]

5GHz will work fine until it just loses connectivity randomly (while still remaining connected) whereas 2.4GHz is rock solid with slow speeds.

[FurryNutz]

I'm still concerned about the 2.4Ghz radio and the bridge.

Sent you a PM.

[Hunter X]

saw the PM Furry, but I held off until I got the main problem with 5GHz, which is the following.
5GHz, everything works great: http://i.imgur.com/4Hao6hX.png
5GHz after a while, no internet access: http://i.imgur.com/m475vrs.png
To regain access, I need to disconnect then reconnect, no power cycling.

That's an odd one.  Are you able to ping the router IP when the connection drops? And have you tried setting up full static IP settings outside of the dhcp range.  Could be a dhcp renewal issue? I'm not sure how to do any of those on a Mac I'm a windows user.

[Hunter X]

I use both Windows and OS X, but mostly find myself using Windows (Dota 2). I've set up DHCP reservations so the DHCP lease shouldn't expire, I'll see what happens now. By the way, is there a way to get more detailed logging besides what the log section provides?
