Hello dawnhamilton,
Welcome to the community!
What are the model number(s) of the routers that your are using? Apparently they are designed as routers so I would think that they are quite different in handling the traffic.

Thanks,
1 R6250 and the rest are all netgear 750's
We have about 120 online users at any one time. Its a regular comcast modem but Im going to upgrade to a surfboard 6121 in a month or so
You have to take out the modem/router out of router mode and turn it into bridge mode. Therefore one will support the other and the firewall will be a lot more secure
