Just an idea, if the ISP router doesn't have DMZ, it should have port forwarding, is that right? If so, port forward 1-65535 TCP/UDP to the XR500, that is basically what the DMZ does anyway. Then also disable the WiFi on the ISP router so all devices can connect to the XR500 and can be controlled by it.

Thanks for answering.
I suspected that the vlan tagging is the problem. I can set my ISP router in router mode, but it has no DMZ! I had an asus Gt-ac5300 before the xr500 and it was connected to my ISP modem, I was able to limit the bandwidth on download and upload without any broplem and everything was just great. I sold it and got the xr500 due to geofilter function, then I just have this upload slider problem. Is it possible that a new firmware update will solve the problem?

Yes it's certainly possible, but right now we're focusing on adding loads of new features in DumaOS 3.0

I don't know if we're specifically solving that bug, but I know a lot of issues are being ironed out in the new version.

In the mean time, Netgear may release updates that improve compatibility with VLAN tagging.
