What Firmware is currently loaded?

Firmware 2.5.1.8
Both Disable Port Scan and DoS protection and Respong to Ping on Internet port are disabled

What happens if you enable Port Scan and DoS protection on the RBR?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?What other WiFi devices do you have connected to the system. Any devices that broadcast there own wifi signal by chance?
