I have the exact same issue. Whether using Linux, macOS, Windows 11, iOS or Android on 5 GHZ on my CAX80 I am unable to upload anything to iCloud or any other cloud server. This is very annoying and I haven't changed anything . Rebooted the router several times.

What FW version are you using?
Seems to be a problem with 5Ghz on current version, so you might try reverting back a version of FW on the CAX80.

FURRYe38 I am on V2.1.3.5. The initiater of this thread was on previous firmware version when he was unable to upload on 5 GHz and the upgrade to V2.1.3.5 didn't resolve his issue.
Another thing I noticed is that upload is only blocked on (any) browser, not on cloud services like iCloud Drive or DropBox.And last: I rebooted the router yesterday and was able to upload on 5 GHz for a while and then it got blocked again.

You can try going back to first version of FW and see if this helps. If not, I recommnend you contact NG support and let then know what your seeing:
