Slow upload speeds on router Speedtest
Observing an interesting situation with upload speeds on my RS700 connected to a Verizon ONT, fiber gigabit. The upload Speedtest on the RS700 tops out at about 300-ish Mbps; at the same time a hard...
For some reason I can't reply to my original topic (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-with-WiFi-7-BE/Slow-upload-speeds-on-router-Speedtest/td-p/2363429) so I will post an update here. After swapping ONTs for VZW's 2Gbit service I am able to max out downloads and uploads. The internal RS700 test showed 2,455 Mbps down and 2,495 Mbps up. Wifi gets around 1,500 down and 1,500 up which is ok for wireless. At this point I am 100% certain that the issue is specifically with RS700 and G-211M-C ONTs. So if any of you have issues with uploads and have Verizon's 1Gbit service running on their G-211M-C ONT, your only solution at the moment is to swap ONTs by requesting a 2Gbit service (you can make a call afterwards to downgrade, they will simple provision for lower speeds but you get to keep the new ONT). Alternatively, you can look for a new router 🙂
working well.
I am having the exact same problem. I have an RS200 Nighthawk. I thought it was defective so I bought another one. It has the same problem -- slow upload speed of 3MBS even though my Apple MacBook gets 300MBS when connected directly to my Verizon ONT.
Can you please share the updated firmware with me? I am so eager to get this problem solved. Working from home is brutal right now. Thank you.
Please make contact with NG support and ask for any beta FW available for your model RS router.
I've sent you a PM with the link for the trial firmware.
Got it. Thanks.
Will install and test after work today.
Not kidding, this firmware made a HUGE difference for my setup. Installed, router rebooted, ran speed test, and now speeds are where I expected.
Only gotcha I found is my READYSHARE 2tb SSD didn't come back online until I unplugged and re-plugged it in. Not sure if it's related or not.
