QOS on RBR50

Question

I am perplexed about the QOS setting having nothing more than a Speed Test button? Is it me? How are we suppose to assign priority?

No, it is not just you.&nbsp; My setup also has only the SpeedTest option for the QoS Setup.&nbsp; I don't know if any other options for this are coming or not.&nbsp; You'll have to wait for a response from someone from Netgear.
&nbsp;
Sorry about that.

You cannot set priorities.
&nbsp;
Orbi has the&nbsp;GUI for NETGEAR's "Dynamic QoS." &nbsp;This uses speed test results to manage bandwidth. &nbsp;This type of QoS, where the only settings required are upload and download speed is common, and is used by Eero, Mikrotik, Edgerouter, and other NETGEAR routers.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can click on the "?" help icon on the QoS page to&nbsp;read about how it's supposed to work.
&nbsp;
However, I tested Orbi's QoS using the dslreports speed test, and it doesn't seem to have any effect on buffer bloat, so it doesn't seem to work at the moment. Maybe it will be enabled in a future fimrware release. Who knows.

Thanks guys! Glad it’s not me missing something! Surprised though, since Orbi has been out for over a year. I’d have expected at least the same capability as the R6300 Router I had. Guess I have no choice but to wait and see. 😔

Have you tested your router to see if the settings on this hidden page actually work?
