Slow Upload Speed RS300
Just got an RS300 all up and running, but i am getting extremely poor upload speeds. I am on a 2gb/2gb ISP connection and i can get full download but barely 700 on upload from webgui or app. ...

Just curious: Does the built-in Speedtest now have the ability to select a different server?
Not that I'm aware of. And thats been an issue before with the default test server not being able to saturate lines. It used to be a bigger issue as some test servers couldn't saturate gigabit. That's gotten better. But now we're bumping up >2gig speeds and reciprocal speeds. Could be a thought that the test is hosted from different servers.
At these high access data rates, this "test" is more than obsolete. On the WX71x (2.5 GbE LAN) and the W78x (10 GbE LAN) the this Speedtest nonsense is finally gone, and no longer available.
Or can you get any meaningful information from this? Yes, it's a WAX615 connected with an extremely well performing network, a 2.5GbE link to a good MultiGig switch, connected on a 10 GbE backhaul, and a business class router on a 1G/1G Fiber making some 125 Mb/s to that wonderful "best" performing SpeedTest site:
A brief comparison with a Wi-Fi connected client (while having half a dozen other 5 GHz APs on air and active intentionally, so high wireless collision rates appearing, an established theoretical PHY link rate of 2402/1201 Mbps does lead to these wireless test "performance" when using the Swiss cnlab reference speed test platform, with a 10 GbE connected test server.
