are you disabling smart connect so you can specify what band to connect to?
To many times I've seen smart connect on and people connecting to the 2.4ghz when its a slower network.
Also, what channels are you using because you're running 3x routers. The 2x R7450's and the one other.
Could be you're causing interference on one of them thats slowing things down too.
