QOS on RBR50
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?
You cannot set priorities.
Orbi has the GUI for NETGEAR's "Dynamic QoS." This uses speed test results to manage bandwidth. 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. You can click on the "?" help icon on the QoS page to read about how it's supposed to work.
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.
