Download speed 8 times lower than upload speed

Any progress on this?

I have an extremely strange problem that I cannot solve and can only conclude that there is a hardware problem. In short I have an FTTC connection via a Draytek 2860 and I get around 70mbps/18mbps download / upload. However from the RBR50, the download speed via the speedtest shows 2.3Mbps download and 18.63Mbps upload! 

 

- I have run the speedtest directly from the RBR web interface (the built in one via a PC and direct connection) and from a mobile speedtest client connected via WiFi and both has reported the 2.3/18 result above

 

- To rule out the router I ran a speedtest from my PC connected directly to the same port of the Draytek router and it produces the expected 70Mbps/18Mbps speeds.

 

- I did a factory reset on the router and it has not made a difference

- I changed the cable between the RBR50 access point (it's configured as AP) and the router and it has made no difference

 

From the above tests I have eliminated the Draytek router and the physical cabling being the issues. 

 

I am not sure what else I can try to figure out what could be the problem? I don't understand how the download speed could be down by a multiple of 8 over the upload speed, especially since even the speedtest on the RBR50 produces the same result.

 

Anyone have any idea what is going on?

 

Thanks very much for any help in advance.
