Nighthawk R7800 SLOW upload speed
I have had this router for over a year now and it has worked great! I moved to a new city and switched my internet provider to AT&T Fiber ( 1,000 upload and 1,000 download). It has worked just fine for the past couple of months. Yesterday I noticed that I was unable to perform daily activities as before and ran a speed test and the results were around 800 mbps download and 0.07 mbps upload! I disconnected my nighthawk and just ran a test with my wifi to my AT&T modem and the speeds were around 500 down and 300 up, so I know the issue is within the nighthawk. My current firmware version is V1.0.2.82 which I believe is the latest version. Please help!

do you have the R7800 in the att's DMZ?
Or the R7800 in access point mode?
Otherwise you're in a double nat.
When you moved, did you ever try factory resetting the router and reinstalling? Whenever I've switched providers/locations I've done that
Im not exactly sure on the first 2 questions to be honest. But I can say that I did have to factory reset the nighthawk when I moved and had to set it up again. Can you walk me through the steps to hopefully fix it?
some info on a double nat.

The dmz option you'd need to look into your specific ISP's router manual to find.
In terms of access point mode.
