The routers that I use are the Netgear WNDR4500. I am using the 5Ghz band and configured as follows.
Wireless Network (5GHz a/n)
There is no 'G' network on the 5GHz .... My router manual is at the link below.Cut-Throat

perhaps you have to set the lower GHZ to N as well?
Do your laptops support N at 5GHZ? There are many N laptops that operate at 2.4GHZ.
According to Netgear data sheet it supports:
IEEE: 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz
IEEE: 802.11 a/n 5GHz
But why do you have so many routers? Are they all configured for 5GHz? Have you tried just one router, leaving the others turned OFF ?
I have 3 routers (2 configured as Access Points) because I have a Big house, and as you know the 5Ghz Band has far less range than the 2.4Ghz Band. All of my routers have dual Bands.And yes I have tried just one router and get the same wireless speed result.

Daveslater might be on to something. Can you set your router for 5GHz N ONLY . Completely disable 2.4GHz and other modes.
Have you looked up the wifi specs for each of your laptops to see what they support? Sorry for posting the obvious which you may have already explored.
Not sure what to tell you.
I think I've narrowed the problem down to my newer laptops (Which are not really a laptop, but Tablets with full Windows 10 O/S on them).... If I put one of my older laptops right next to my router, I get about ~90 Mbps wireless on the 2.4 Ghz Band..... So, I don't think the limiting factor is my network, but my Laptops.... Thanks for help.
