R8500 slow upload speeds (v1.0.0.50_1.0.25)

Have tried the R8500 v1.0.0.50_1.0.25 firmware multiple times but end up downgrading back to v1.0.0.42_1.0.23 each time since uploads are incredibly slow on v1.0.0.50_1.0.25 (~.2mbps instead of ~12mb...

    Hello All,

     

    I would like to let you all know that NETGEAR engineers released a new firmware (1.0.0.52) that addresses slow WAN speed issue.

    Kindly upgrade your routers and let us know if you are still having the same concern.

     

    Regards,

Just curious, do you have anything plugged into the USB ports? If so, try unplugging them and check your speeds. I found that having Network Neighborhood/MacShare selected in the USB section with a thumbdrive plugged in was causing my problem. When I removed the thumbdrive or unchecked that option with the thumbdrive plugged in my upload speeds returned to normal.

Heralo,

 

I saw your post earlier and was encouraged by your success so I tried it out. I have no USB devices plugged in and I unchecked the Network Neighborhood/MacShare on the ReadySHARE tab. Unfortunately no change.
