I'm using Xfinity as ISP provider, and still have the same upload issues to the AWS server while using 5GHz wifi with Win 11 os.
This 2.1.5.2 FW didn't resolve the issue. Very disappointed.

yeah, it improved some issues for me, but overall I am still encountering most of the same issues and back to the workaround of using the 2.4ghz

So 5ghz is not working for you on the upload?
Did you apply the FW and continue with use or did you factory reset and setup from scratch?
How is the WIFI settings configured on the Basic and Advanced Wireless Settings sections?

SO updated my CAX80 today, finally.
Loaded FW, factory reset and setup from scratch.
Manual channel 1 and 40.
Smart Connect, AX Mode, MIMO and Beamforming all enabled.
40Mhz only on 2.4Ghz.
WPA2 + WPA3 mixed Mode.
DCHP 192.168.0.100 thru .150
No other feature apps enabled at this time.
Getting over 900Mpbs on the download with a wired PC.
Onboard speed test is not seeing near 900Mpbs.
NH app connected and working with CAX80:
NH app speed test has same as on onboard results.
5Ghz speeds are still not to spec though on the Up. Testing with a iPhone 12 Pro Max, Mac Book Pro 2018, (ASUS GT-AX11000 and NG RAXE500 in wireless bridge mode), the speed seen in less then half of 50Mpbs that I normally see. I see around high teens to 20Mpbs. đ
Uploaded a 1Gb file and a partial 17Gb file to a cloud share successfully over a 5Ghz wifi connection using a wired PC connected to a NG RAXE500 configured for wireless bridge mode.
