Might try channel 1 and 40 as well.
Can you compare ping results with a different PC or laptop to compare results?
I would also turn OFF the RBS's and then run a PING test with the PC around 2-3 meters away from the RBR.I would also bring the distances between the RBR and RBSs to say 10-15meters. 20meters maybe a bit too far.

I would not care so much about distances between RBR and RBS because i have the ethernet backhaul.. i have a bad opinion of it ?
