If QOS is off there isn't much else that would limit a wired connection up upload.

thanks searay for the QoS tip.
it seems that my firmware V1.0.6.28_1.1.83 is broken.
i had set (even before) to disable both upstreeam and downstream QoS rules. everything is fine until i restart the router. after restart both of them are selected again, and the upstream is limited to 35 Mbps :)
now i have to find a way to downgrade the firmware and in the meantime not to reboot the router (i always thought that a restart is very good after changing settings).
thanks again!

Mar 01, 2016To revert back to 1.0.4.30......Download from top of this page, save to desktop, extract or unzip....from router update Browse to saved file location (desktop) and select it.
The only QOS that should be used ( in my opinion ) is WMM, Enabled it.
When making changes to any setting look for and click APPLY before leaving that page....if you don't click apply the change will NOT happen.
