Literally no upload speed on wired AC3000-Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Mesh Extender

Your user manual is here btw: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/EX8000/EX8000_UM_EN.pdf

The datasheet is here: https://www.netgear.com/images/datasheet/networking/WiFiRangeExtenders/EX8000.pdf

I don't think so I can't actually see having gone through all the options anything called "FastLane"

Actually, per the datasheet it is automatically enabled.  Is the "maximum throughput" LED on the extender lit white (not blinking).

For some reason the PC doesn't find the 5Ghz so only the 2.4Ghz

Does the PC WiFi card support 5 Ghz?

Are you using MAC access controls in the router?. Not sure what this is

Then you aren't using them.  The extender also has MAC access controls, you can look at page 29 in the manual if you want to get a sense of what they are for.  But for now, it's good that you aren't using them, as they could be part of the puzzle.

I thought it could be a cable issue or a port issue but given that the download works as it should, the upload should equally work?

That depends on the cable/port issue.  Transmit and Receive data use different wires in the cable (and different pins in the NIC socket).  So a problem on that affects only the transmit wires might not effect the receive data (and vice versa).

But if you've already tried a different cable and a different port, I think we can rule that out.

I'm not seeing anything wrong in your configuration pictures, so I am a bit puzzled on what might be going on.

Can you check your PC ethernet status, and confirm that it is using 1 gpbs full duplex?  Also, try pinging the router's internal IP address, and see if that responds.
