slow upload speeds RS700
I just purchased the RS700 and got it setup and when running multiple hardwired speedtests on multiple different servers I can't hit above 250~Mbps on upload. Download speeds are 900+Mbps as expected...
You can check my original thread here, I've done quite a lot of testing: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-with-WiFi-7-BE/Slow-upload-speeds-on-router-Speedtest/td-p/2363429
The details in Rob1099 's post match my situation nearly to the T. I am working on FW testing as well together with BH_C.
Ironically it's good to validate that others have an identical issue, at least I know it's not something on my end alone.
Having said that, I really hope this gets a bit more resource on NETGEAR's side as it is clearly a problem that needs work. I imagine millions of potential Customers will be eventually / are already affected, FIOS is not a small provider.
Thanks autoexec_bat for your time and help on this. Looks like you've been chasing it down for several months already. I don't want to return this router but that's a long time, props for the work you've done already.
Quick question for you, BH_C and others here.... do we know if a different model ONT performs better / as-expected? I'm going to try and get a different ONT from Frontier (for semi-unrelated reasons) and I'm curious if this software bug is related specifically to the Alcatel-Lucent 211M-L ONT or if it's a bug for Fiber ONTs at large? Perhaps we don't know?
Thanks again,
Rob
Would be good to know if a GS series non managed switch could be a alternative or work around for this issue, until NG can figure this out.
Hi FURRYe38 - are we talking a simple Ethernet connection from ONT into unmanaged L2 like a GS108, and then Ethernet GS108 into the WAN port of RS700?
The way my home network is physically and logically setup, I can make that work (for a short-term, temporary test) with minimal headache.Let me know if so, I can confirm back?
Sincerely,
Rob
Yes. Would be great to see if anything changes. Just don't connect anything else to the switch. Just the ONT and the RS.
"do we know if a different model ONT performs better / as-expected?"
I have a Nokia ONT XS-010X-Q through GoNetspeed. I have no issues with getting 2 gig Internet on both download and upload.
Great info, thanks ShadowMario3
