Deco X50 mesh slow upload speed connected with ethernet

Hi
I installed the Deco Mesh X50 on my house.
I have a symmetric 940mb of internet speed (940 download/upload)
So, I was checking my current speed with my 2nd deco mesh (not the main) connected by ethernet from the main deco, and the speed test is (using my macbook pro):
And I checked on the main deco speet test using my iPhone:
The speed test for the upload is slow.
When I was using the company router (Movistar Chile) near the router, the speed test was always symmetric.
My Decos are updated (firmware)
If you need more details I can share.
Thanks
Plea

Hi, thanks,
My Internet Service Provider is Movistar Chile.
- I have a 940 Mbps symmetrical fiber-optic plan.
- The fiber-optic cable is connected to the Movistar WIFI 6 PLUS HGU RTF8225VW ASKEY AIROHA router (ASKEY COMPUTER CORP).
- I have disabled the WIFI on the router to manage the wireless network through my Deco mesh system.
Connections to the Movistar router:
- Deco Mesh (main unit): connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the router.
- It uses the Ethernet cable that came with the Deco Mesh X50 package.
- Movistar IPTV: connected to another Ethernet port on the router. This service seems to use different ports or specific technology for IPTV.
Deco Mesh configuration:
- The main Deco unit has two additional Ethernet ports in use:
- One connected to an Ethernet cable running to the first floor, where another Deco unit is located.
- This connection uses a Cat 5E Ethernet cable previously installed by Movistar when they set up a repeater included with the plan. However, the repeater was very poor, providing only ~200 Mbps (though symmetrical).
- The other directly connected to my PS5.
- One connected to an Ethernet cable running to the first floor, where another Deco unit is located.
I share a draw of my current network
last test performed next to the main deco (with wifi macbook)
It seems that being closer improves the upload speed.
I should buy a better ethernet cable to connect the router to the main deco and not use the one that came in the package?
I also know that it is much better to have a router in bridge or "passthrough" mode (the Movistar router has a switch to activate it faster), but I think I would have problems with the IPTV connected by cable and the IPTV connected by wifi.
Or maybe I should have a better router? that is compatible with my Deco mesh x50?

I tested again on the 1st floor deco (not the main)
