RBR850 Upload Speed

I have an RBR850 router with two satellites. I just had 2G/2G fiber installed. I'm connected to the 2.5G Internet port on the Orbi. I'm getting 2G down, but only 1G upload.  ISP put his tester on, using the same Ethernet cable going to the Orbi, and his tester gets 2G down and 2G up.  So, is there a limitation to the upload speed on this Orbi?

    How are you speed testing? 

    Does the RBRs web page speed test return this result?

     

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

     

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Armor, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.

     

    Is IPv6 enabled or disabled?

    Does the ISP support IPv6 natively?

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.
