I would factory reset both RBR and RBS and setup from scratch. I would temporarily bring the RBS into 20/30 feet distance range and setup the RBR. Then check the connection rate with your devices connected to the RBR. Be sure you turn OFF the wifi radios on these devices until after you get the RBS setup in it's temp location. After it's setup, turn ON the wifi radios on these devices and check the connection rate. If you can, please post screen captures of the rates on this devices please.
I would download wifi sweet spots on one of these devices and run this live to see the rate the app is dectecting while the device is connected to the RBS while near the RBS, say 4 feet away?

Has a factory reset been performed on the RBR and RBS ands setup from scratch?
Whats the distance between the RBR and RBS?
