Nighthawk RS600 Slow upload speeds Never over 5 mbps.
I am getting really slow upload speeds on Wi-Fi. I work from home with videos and need the upload speed to keep work going. I bought this router to replace a 10 year old asus and currently the asus i...
what modem/gateway is it connected to?
Have you tried a factory reset since its been installed/updated? Always a good option with recently released devices.
I have a RS600 and it is much much faster than the levels you're getting.
Mine is currently setup in AP mode but I did have it in stock mode with stock settings for testing
It has been reset 2 times. I am using iPhone 13 Pro Max, Dell XPS last years model i7 And an hp desktop that is new in the last year for editing. Also very fast computer. Wired I get 1500 or so up and down. It is only the WiFi up that is super slow.
I don’t recall the modem I’m not at the house but wouldn’t it be odd that only WiFi would be effected by a modem.
Just wondering if this slow speed is common or again a Qos issue!?!?
Also don’t have any of the armor protection ever activated or turned on.

double nat's an other network configurations can cause strange effects, it why we ask the modem/gateway.
When you set it up, did you test the speeds with it in its default configuration?
Try running through setup using the GUI (not the app) and don't change anything during setup. Leave ssid/password/etc. Just enough to get it setup and test the speeds.
If the QoS is not enabled and you still have this slow upload speed issue, then it should not be related to QoS.
We now have a trial firmware build that may resolve certain slow upload issue, especially when the RS router is connected to an ONT, It worked in our test.
If you would like to give it a try, please let me know your RS router model and I will PM you the firmware.
Thanks.
- I have the RS 600 and I am getting 1098mbps down and only 8mbps up, I am on the phone with tech support now, downloaded the latest firmware, my old ASUS CM32 that I upgraded from was getting 550mbps down and 450 mbps up, but it was 11 years old
