R8500 slow upload speeds (v1.0.0.50_1.0.25)

Have tried the R8500 v1.0.0.50_1.0.25 firmware multiple times but end up downgrading back to v1.0.0.42_1.0.23 each time since uploads are incredibly slow on v1.0.0.50_1.0.25 (~.2mbps instead of ~12mb...

Hello All,

I would like to let you all know that NETGEAR engineers released a new firmware (1.0.0.52) that addresses slow WAN speed issue.

Kindly upgrade your routers and let us know if you are still having the same concern.

Can anyone confirm after updating, if it has fixed the Traffic meter and QoS issue, reducing your broadband speed???

AudiTuner,

So you've put the router thru it's paces and you have speedtested it both on the router and hardwired PC, and your broadband is fine with Traffic meter and QoS enabled???

Thanks for your input
