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 🙂

Hi again BH_C did a WireShark run this morning on Verizon SpeedTest and capturing src client on upload only for two different setups (about 550K packages per capture). I did the test / capture multiple times with very similar results:
Setup A: MBP direct to ONT (ethernet)
Setup B: MBP to RS700 (ethernet) to ONT (ethernet)
You will notice that when we have Setup A (without the RS700), the WireShark log shows only 24 Warnings and just a few Notes / Chats.
However, with the addition of RS700 in Setup B, the WireShark log shows a sizable new entry of 3,491 out-of-order-segment frames, plus 479 retransmissions.
Here are the screenshots:

Hi autoexec_bat , I sent you a PM for some debugging tests. Please see if you can help on the tests.
Thank you.
