New router, download speeds are high with fiber. My upload speeds are very low.
When you reset the router, I have high upload speeds and download speeds with fiber Internet after about 30 minutes. My upload speeds are low, and my download speeds remain high. Replace an old Orbi ...

Speed was perfect. Exactly what I pay for 950+ on both uploaded download..
Called NETGEAR and they are a joke. You have high speed 778 download and 74 up is fast and they don’t understand Fiber isp. My old Orbi got over 950 each way before the satellite died.
I should show on the Orbi app 950 each way. I only get that for about 30 minutes after rebooting the router. The the drops to under 75
