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.

     

    Regards,

Just an update - I reverted back to v1.0.0.42_1.0.23 as it seems more stable.  Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

AudiTuner,

 

So you have QoS and Traffic meter enabled and no degradation of broadband speed on either wired or wireless???

 

Also, can you check to see if your able to do a speedtest on a wired desktop, using Firefox browser???

 

TIA

Lex
