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...
Quick update - I was very fortunate to have a first-class technician from Frontier come out today. He really knew networking, both as a career and a hobby. I was worried my ISP might (rightfully) say sorry buddy, use the Eero Pro's we gave you, our ONT is fine... but thankfully it went the complete other way.
After chatting with him, he agreed to move me over to XGS-PON with ONT swap. Issued a FRX523. Pulled a short new fiber and moved the whole setup into my garage, nice enclosure, very clean. With sincere thanks expressed to him. He was far more thankful that I ran the cables all weekend and drilled the holes đ
Anyways ---- while this is "good news" for me, I got very lucky and if the tech didn't take care of me, I would have to return this Netgear back. I'm reminded of other users with this problem with ISPs / techs that may not have new equipment or be willing to do a whole ONT model exchange. I just upgraded my service from 500m to 1gb last week too, so I had a bit of a leg to stand on. Not all will have that luxury.
Bing BH_C you've been a big help so far, I'm just hopeful that the Engineering team figures this thing out. I did send over a detailed technical manual from Alcatel-Lucent on the 211 series, if it helps. I'm looking forward to the next stable firmware release. (Is there a Wi-Fi Channel Scan / Optimizer on this thing?)
In closing, big thanks to the other users who actively helped me and others. Fingers crossed Netgear dials this one in.

I have Verizon fiber 1gb up/down.
I am using Speedtest.net on multiple different servers.
And again, if I use my XR1000 I get above 900 on both up/down with a wired connection.
I am a system engineer as my day job the reason I posted here is because I have 2 other friends that bought the rs700 yesterday (micro center was doing $200 off) and all 3 of us are capped around 200~ on a wired connection. We all have Verizon 1gb up/down. 3 different local cities. Each 20+ minutes away from each other and we are all having the same issue.

Any progress on this?
Have you tried putting in a non managed switch in between the ONT and the RS?
Might ask the ISP about changing out the ONT. Seems like there maybe an issue between these certain branded ONTs and RS units.
