RAX78 Upload speed tanked
Hello I am experiencing poor upload speeds across ALL connected devices directly to my RAX78. My internet provider is Sparklight with 300 down and 30 up. I get roughly 260-350 down and 28-35...

Out of curiosity, I connected my wifi card on with this PC and got full speeds up and down.
I have swapped ethernet ports to verify the issue, same result.
I have swapped ethernet cables, same result.
Drivers have been verified on the currently isolated PC. Running Intel Killer E2200.
I'm continuing to keep an eye on the WiFi speeds from another computer out in my garage which has the worst chance of success. Running a USB card I get 39d and 31u, through a staircase, two walls, a car, a fridge and a toolbox.
Occasionally I have a laptop with a 5GHz card that fails to perform.
If you do a web search for the Intel Killer E2200 hardware, you will find pages and pages of problems associated with the Intel drivers and Intel Performance software suite.
In Windows, uninstall all Intel software and drivers associated with the E2200 hardware. Go in to the control panel - device manager - network adapters and uninstall the device. Restart Windows and it will install the Microsoft driver for the E2200.

Well dang it, that was it! Thank you, Kitsap
I'm happy to report it wasn't a Netgear issue. I'm glad my loyalties remain.
If this issue arises again, I will revisit the drivers. I know there were a couple other devices performing inconsistently. If I have checked those parameters with no results, I will return.
Thanks,

I am glad you got it working. The sequence of events I listed has corrected Ethernet upload problems on at least six machines I have worked on. For the record, they were all Dell machines. As of this writing, Intel has not updated either their drivers or software.
