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...
So, Netgear fixed this issue for me, but unfortunately did not merge it into the latest/final firmware.
Which means, I cannot use their patch as it is always replaced by the latest broken firmware.
Incidentally, I helped them identify the issue.
This is due to a firmware bug, ppp0 txqueuelen is still the default 3 rather than set to 1000, Suspect net-wan script fails on reboot. Reproduced on another unit running Voxel’s firmware. There a post boot ‘ifconfig ppp0 txqueuelen 1000’ resolves it
