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...
Is there any QOS operational in the latest firmware at all? I am seeing wired and wireless devises streaming video and taking up all the bandwidth from other users. The speedtest under QOS does not seem to do anything. Thinking about using my old Netgear router (WNDR3400) that has proper QOS and putting my orbi in AP Mode. Considering what I paid for an orbi and three satellites this seems like an odd thing to have to do.
IT's been said that there is a very basic QoS working behind the scenes. Nothing advanced.
On my system, it seems to work ok. I have two xbox consoels and do gaming. One streams alot as well. Haven't seen any issues while gaming. It would be nice to have some advanced controlls to set some priorities though. The Orbi systems aren't really directed towards gaming, however for general gaming, seems to work ok.
