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...
Any progress on this?

Previously to using the RS700 I was using a XR1000 getting 900+Mbps download and upload.
I have ran tests before and after turning off Netgear Armor and get the same results.
When running the internal speedtest from the RS700 GUI I get the same degraded upload speeds.
There have been no new devices introduced, just a straight swap of the XR1000 to the RS700. After failing to get better upload speeds I switched back to the XR1000 and immediately got my full speeds again.
When doing speedtests on wifi I am receiving about the same percentage loss as I am getting hardwired. Going from 300-400~Mbps upload down to 50-60~Mbps.
The RS700 is fully up-to-date as well.
Regarding the slow upload speed issue, especially when the RS router is connected to an ONT, we have a trial firmware build that may resolve the issue. It worked in our test.
If you would like to give it a try, please let me know your RS router model and I will PM you the firmware.
Thanks.
