RBR50 WiFi upload packet loss
Strange issue, just upgraded to 900/100 fibre. I can reach full speed with a wired connection. Running Speedtest.net I was seeing good WiFi download speeds >500Mbps, but slow upload speeds 20-30...
This is a consistent packet loss issue, using the default SSID with no other WiFi devices connected.
It’s not a case of sometimes there is 0% loss, and other times 6% loss. Before a reboot there is 0% loss and consistently high upload speeds, near to maximum.
After a reboot, there is always a few % loss and 100Mbps is never reached.
It looks like a firmware bug to me.

I confirmed this issue still exists with replacement hardware, so it looks like a firmware issue. I'm sure others must have much higher upload bandwidth (>100Mbps) and not seeing degradation?
So basically, the issue is max upload bandwidth (100Mbps) seen with no packet loss, up until a reboot. After a reboot, consistent reduced performance (20-30Mbps), with packet loss (1-8%).
This happens even with an out of the box minimal setup, with no other WiFi devices connected. No issue with wired bandwidth or WiFi download performance (up to 600Mbps).
