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.

I have an RS300 and would love to give the updated firmware a shot. I have symmetrical 2.5G fiber with the RS300 connected to my ONT and I get 2.2G down and 450M up. If I connect directly to the ONT I get 2.2/2.2. If I swap the router I get 2.2/2.2.Obviousdly an RS300 issue and I'd prefer not to have to return it and start the shopping process over again.
