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...
- Jul 03, 2024For 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 autoexec_bat , I sent you a PM for some debugging tests. Please see if you can help on the tests.
Thank you.

Do you have a custom firmware for an RAXE300 SN: 7CM13CW9A056F.
I have the same issue as everyone here. Been thru multiple service appointments at $99 each. Multiple of the Verizon Fios 211 ONTs, but it worked fine at my previous home that had multi-gig. There’s no multigig in my new area but I’d still like to use my Router vs Verizons.
