Hi there. I am an owner of nbg6604 and it generally works ok, but I have this one super annoying problem. From time to time I have to send a bigger file to the cloud, and it is pretty much impossible. My ISP offers a link with 4Mbps upload speed, but I cannot get more than 0.03Mbps when I am connected over wifi. What's interesting, upload over ethernet cable easily saturates said 4Mbps limit. Router software doesn't really offer to many knobs to adjust. Firmware is up-to-date. 5G has same problem.

Which type of file do you send?
Would it happen to upload with the small file?
You can try other file transfer protocols like FTP,SFTP.0 -
What do you mean what type of file ? And how does it matter ? It's a tgz archive, and i'm uploading it to amazon's workdocs, but same thing happens if I upload to other services. This *is* a router problem.0

Hello @euforiamracademia
Are you able to say which version of firmware you are on in your NBG6604 wireless router?
Looking at the Downloads area linked from https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/products/wifi-router/ac1200-dual-band-wireless-router-nbg6604 it seems that the latest firmware isV1.00(ABIR.9)C0 from December 2021.
HOWEVER, I cannot see in the release notes any specific bug fix for slow upload of binary files such as .tgz files.
Kind Regards,

You can set up static IP on WAN of the NBG device and directly connect another PC with static ip the same subnet on the wan to it and test speed using iperf or build up openspeedtest server on the PC and directly check the performance using wifi client under the NBG router. If the result is the same, it might be the issue on the NBG router.0

Hello @euforiamracademia
What @ikubuf writes will allow you to test the throughput of the NBG6604.
There is also some troubleshooting tips for slow connections using WiFi on page 104 of the NBG6604 user guide, such as checking WiFi signal strength and checking for interference from microwave ovens, etc, blocking WiFi.
Kind regards,

Hi @euforiamracademia
You can try with another client (eg .mobile phone ,laptop ...etc) to upload the file to a different server and check if the symptom would still occur.
