r7500 slow upload speed

Hi

 

Using a r9000 acting as a router , wired to the ap that is the r7500 placed in the second floor of the house

 

But upload speed is crazy

 

1.89 Mbps

 
Any idea how to resolve this problem ?
Download speed is good
1.89 Mbps to 2,5 Mbps
 
 
Running on the V1.0.0.94 
  • Using a cable directly to the r7500 :

    Download: 394,19 Mbps

    Upload : 200,22 Mbps

     

    Using the same cable that is connected to the r7500 , but using in in the computer it gives:

     

    Download: 430,72 Mbps

    Upload: 230,45 Mbps

     

    Length of cable , 50 meters

     

    Connecting the r7500 directly to the fiber converter , cable length 0,5 meters

    It gives the same speed as the first test posted in this thread .

     

    So dont think its a "cable" problem , did call netgear and they put up an case on it , so i hope it goes to an RMA

    Hi dunkens,

     

    1. What is the speed of the device when connected directly to the R9000?

    2. How long is the cable from the R9000 to R7500?

    3. Bring the R7500 closer to R9000 and use a short cable and check the speed.
