Orbi QoS does not work.. What's up?
My Orbi RBR50 / AC3000 router has QoS under Advanced settings, but it does not do anthing or work. What's up here? A Speed Test is all I get. Here is the screen. http://wjturnermd.org/graphics/O...
Hello neargearz
Orbi does not currently have advanced Qos settings.

It appears that it's not just advanced QoS, but no QoS seems to be working at all. With a 100/10 internet connection, my ping times go to hell if my wife so much as uploads a few photos.
What's going on with this? QoS has been a "coming soon" feature for years, this really isn't acceptable for a product that costs as much as this is. Even $50 budget routers have functional auto-QoS. Is Netgear just completely abandoning their Orbi customers?
What FW version do you have loaded on the router?
What is the Mfr and model # of the ISP modem your Orbi is connected too?
How are you and your wife connected to the system? wired or wireless?
Do you have the speed test in the routers QoS set up or left it alone?

2.1.2.18 Firmware. Hard wired connections to desktop PC (we also have plenty of wireless devices, but those obvioulsly aren't used for gaming).
Never had any QoS issues with my old $60 Buffalo, or the 15 year old Linksys WRT I had before that.
Interestingly enough, although I had run the speed test in the past (when initially looking to see why QoS didn't seem to be working) the speedtest on the Orbi now appears non-functional. It just sits for a few minutes and says "could not determine internet speed. Please check your internet connection or try again later". Of course, going directly to Speedtest.net in a browser works fine.
I should have come to these forums before I bought this thing. All of the reviews and documentation I read said QoS was coming soon and it was old information so I just assumed that would have been working long ago.
