Clients fail to renew DHCP address, they get 169.x.x.x IP

I have configured Unleashed using two R750 access points. This is for my home network, very basic, one ISP router (Xfinity), one switch and the access points. No VLANs configured. Most of the settings on the R750 are default. The DHCP service is running on the Xfinity router. I have setup the R750 APs on DHCP addresses, with the master having a reserved IP, just so I know where to login to the UI. Since I have implemented this setup, I've noticed that my wifi clients are often being disconnected, and the reason seems to be that they can't renew the addresses. They often get stuck with an 169.x.x.x. address. The fix is to turn the wifi on/off on the affected client, and that will force a successful dhcp lease. Do you have any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it?

I should mention that this started only after implementing Ruckus unleashed. I used Ubiquiti APs before and did not have this problem.
