You might try loading new FW. RBS first then RBR lastly with a wired PC and web browser then factory reset and setup from scratch.
I would bring the RBS near the RBR while you update everything and factory reset and setup from scratch.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Traffic Meter.
