Slow upload speeds Nighthawk AXE3000 USB adapter

I installed the adapter, and while download speeds are great (600-700 Mbps), upload speeds are far slower than they should be, around 40-50 Mbps. I have a symmetrical gigabit connection with AT&T Fiber. Other devices get upload speeds around 600-700 Mbps. Drivers are up to date, and I have the adapter connected to a USB 3.1 port. I’d greatly appreciate any help getting this issue fixed.

    Is that the A8000? That's a USB adapter.

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
