How many total devices, and more importantly, what are those devices doing? If the problem increases with the number of devices and activity, I would start to suspect either the R7000 (assuming all devices are behind this router), or the SB6141. It's possible that it doesn't have a sufficient queue length to queue all packets which will result in retransmits (for TCP) and dropped packets for other protocols. Another possibility is the state table on these devices, or the NAT table. Perhaps the routing devices either have terrible limits on their states or simply insufficient memory to handle all the states your devices are creating. It may not be possible to inspect our routing equipment for any of this data, however, you might find documentation that states some numbers on what they can handle.
