Slow upload speeds on router Speedtest
Observing an interesting situation with upload speeds on my RS700 connected to a Verizon ONT, fiber gigabit. The upload Speedtest on the RS700 tops out at about 300-ish Mbps; at the same time a hard...
For some reason I can't reply to my original topic (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-with-WiFi-7-BE/Slow-upload-speeds-on-router-Speedtest/td-p/2363429) so I will post an update here. After swapping ONTs for VZW's 2Gbit service I am able to max out downloads and uploads. The internal RS700 test showed 2,455 Mbps down and 2,495 Mbps up. Wifi gets around 1,500 down and 1,500 up which is ok for wireless. At this point I am 100% certain that the issue is specifically with RS700 and G-211M-C ONTs. So if any of you have issues with uploads and have Verizon's 1Gbit service running on their G-211M-C ONT, your only solution at the moment is to swap ONTs by requesting a 2Gbit service (you can make a call afterwards to downgrade, they will simple provision for lower speeds but you get to keep the new ONT). Alternatively, you can look for a new router 🙂
Hi autoexec_bat ,
When you said "Wifi is still very constricted though on the upload", did you refer to MacBook Pro or other devices?
MacBook Pro (over wifi 5GHz ax) iPerf 3 from / to NUC: 702Mbps down / 440Mbps up
It looks iPhone 15 Pro is good:
iPhone 15 Pro (over wifi 6GHz 6e) iPerf 3 from / to NUC: 1.5bps down / 1.2Gbps up
We didn't see speed issue in our test. Please let us know the exact model with which you got slow upload speeds. Thanks.
Hi BH_C
Quoting from before, updated the incorrect MacBook upload which is constricted uploading to WAN.
Yes, the iPhone 15 Pro over wifi is outstanding on the internal network, however it drops to 100Mbps to WAN.
HP EliteBook 845 G8 is also constricted to slow upload to WAN over wifi. Pretty much all uploads except ATV.
