Orbi QoS for Gaming RBK50
Hi Netgear,
Are there any plans or timeline on when QoS will be officially available from a gaming standpoint? FPS gamers out there using Orbi will attest that they'll want priority on device t...
I have no info on this at this time but I do know this has been a suggestion from the users and the engineers are aware that this feature is wanted.

- Thanks for the reply DarrenM. Just out of curiosity and the benefit of other users, why was it not included in the first place? Appears standard across the other Netgear models and as an owner of previous Netgear routers, that feature is pretty much as developed and mature as it can be.
Once you are logged into your Orbi router if you manually type this address in the URL, http://orbi login.net/QOS_main.htm, you can get to several pages that have more options for setting QOS priorities.
My questions is, do these priorities even work? I have set several priorities, from "normal" to "highest", for various MAC addresses and the LAN ports but I don't know if they are even doing anything on my Orbi router. Are they?
On the first page you can seemingly enable or disable WMM and turn "Internet access QOS" on or off. WMM is ebabled by default and Internet access QOS seems to be turned off by default. I left WMM enabled and turned Internet access QOS on becuase I assumed that if I did not turn it on the priorities I set would have no effect (assuming that they might work at all).
There is also an an option to "Enable upstream QOS" which does not seemingly work.
At the bottom of the page is a "SETUP QOS RULE" link which brings you to another page where you can delete or edit 30 QOS priorities that are already seeminlgly in place and where you can create new priorities.
I would really appreciate someone from Netgear explaining what is going on with these semingly hidden QOS settings on the Orbo roouter.https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Hidden-Orbi-QOS-settings-Do-they-work/m-p/1598181#M34850
