You need to downgrade the 750 series back to v.4 FW. V4 FW and v7 FW is not compaible between each other.
I see NG has not released v7 FW for the 840 series to date either.
Also for that size of home the router unit and maybe two RBS deployed should be enough. Having 4 RBS deployed may cause problems: https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
Can you test with both RBS750s turned OFF for now?
If you think you need more then that, try reducing the power on the system on the RBRs web page from 100% to 25%. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

I changed the firmware. Things stayed the same. I then lowered the power to 50 and it was also the same.
Weird thing is that at the router speed is 500/500 (what I pay for) When I do a speed test on my hardwired pc I get like 385/95. If I factory default the router, will restoring my settings after (got several port forwarding) just put it right back to prior to the default?
Thanks
