Nighthawk XR500 slow upload

Hi guys, spectrum around my area just got upgraded to 1 gig and since the upgrade my router just went to crap. My download got better but my upload won’t exceed pass 2 can anyone help??
I’ve already factory reset my router twice and spectrum already came down twice and there connection is solid.

Glad they got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Re: Nighthawk XR500 slow upload

Have you entered your new/expected speeds in Bandwidth Settings? Where are you testing the speeds exactly?

Yes, I put the new speeds into the bandwidth and have been testing the speeds through the router log in for the dumaOS

Spectrum maintenance crew has been out here for a couple hours already and ended up fixing whatever was wrong.
My XR500 is back to running at optimum levels.
Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.
