RS700S — Wi-Fi upload capped at ~400 Mbps in router mode only (hardware acceleration / ONT issue)
Here's the summary for the online support form in English, with the current ~400 Mbps figure: Subject: RS700S — Wi-Fi upload capped at ~400 Mbps in router mode only (hardware acceleration / ONT issu...
RS700S as router, Wi-Fi: ~400 Mbps ✗
The router's built-in speedtest never works in router mode either, pointing to a router-stack issue.
Grüezi Michael,
RS700S Firmware Version 1.0.11.8 already in place?
Reason asking is this:
- Fixed an issue affecting the GUI and app speed test function.
No personal experience with the newer Netgear consumer routers, more actively using Netgear business router, wireless access point (Qualcomm based), and switches. No idea by far this addresses the WiFi upload perfomance issue you are experiencing.
The downloaded ZIP archive shows firmware image date 11 May 2026, the RN says release date is 11 June 2026 - well possible this is not in the live update push yet.
... please advise on RMA/return options under warranty.
That's not a question community members can answer. In Switzerland, if we buy a product, the reseller is in charge in case you want to return the router (not talking of an RMA replacement, which is unlikely helping). But I expect Netgear (backed by Broadcom as the SoC maker in this case) is able to address such an issue.
