R7000P slow upload speed
Netgear R7000P Firmware V1.3.3.154_10.1.86 QoS - Disabled Access control - Turned off Speedtest on R7000P 50mbps Download 2.8mbps Upload Speedtest on Nest Modem 52mbps Download 20mbps ...
R7000P was here before the Google Nest as it was provided by the ISP
Didn't have a problem with the R7000P in router mode until a week ago
Do you advise to set the R7000P into bridge mode?
I use the R7000P because it provides better WIFI coverage and 4LAN ports
which the Google Nest lacks

Not sure what you mean by "bridge mode", a term that gets widely abused and means different things depending on the context. With routers it can mean "wireless bridge", connected back to another device by wifi.
How are the two connected now? If the R7000P is wired to the Nest, then put the R7000P into "AP" mode. That disables the router bit.

You will still get the benefits of the wifi and can still use the USB ports on the R7000P.
But you also get these drawbacks:

The choice is yours.

10 upA lot better than it was.
Your first message said "NBN box". NBN is the devil's plaything. It tells us nothing about your Internet connection merely that it is something cooked up by some eccentric Australian network engineers. What is that "box"?
Saying you own a Nest Modem is also less than definitive. Could be one of many devices. You say it is a modem. I can't find any Nest modems. Just routers. Indeed, all I can find is a statement that Google doesn't make modems.
If you cannot look at the label on the devices, take a picture and attach it to a reply post.
You will need two reply posts, one with a picture of the "NBN" box and a separate one with a picture of the "Nest" modem.
