Gist of the issue is that the RBK50 exhibits slow upload speeds on LAN or wifi *after* a reboot.
If I make a modification to the WAN settings (like change the MTU setting a little bit) and apply the upload speeds are restored to my 300 mbps up/down levels, but then again if I reboot the system it drops back down to under 100 mbps.
Netgear community forums seems to have many posts about similar issues but wondering if anyone has any ideas/solutions? Tagging @superczar in case you have any ideas since you seem to be experienced with networking gear.
Note that I have tried a bunch of troubleshooting stuff like:
So looking for any suggestions here.
Right now it seems will have to live with this unless Netgear fixes this (if even possible) with a future firmware update.

Note that I have tried a bunch of troubleshooting stuff like:
- Replacing my old Cat 5e cables with new Cat 6 ones.
- Flashing various older versions of firmware and doing factory resets and reconfiguring everything from scratch each time.
- Even flashed the so-called "custom" Voxel firmware - same issue - and in any case the firmware doesn't seem to be too customised/bugfixes, just some additional features like VPN/DoH etc.
