QoS Orbi RBK50 Problems
I am not sure if this forum is just not used much, but I have not seen any recent posts about QoS problems with Orbi mesh routers. From my troubleshooting research, I know that this is an issue with m...

To get Orbi to work better, one needs to factory reset the RBR and this time, do not enable the speedtest feature. Also WMM is wireless QoS which needs to be always enabled for wireless to perform well. If you disabled this then this would add to bad behaviors.
If you give this a try this may help with your app load and launch performance behaviors. Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
This forum is posted on daily and hourly and can be very active. However, not many have had issues like you describe so assuming others have similar issues would be incorrect. I haven't seen this with Orbi and I have a few apps that launch just fine over Orbi.

Thank you for your reply and assistance. I will give the factory reset a try without running the Speedtest. I will leave all other parameters at factory default. I will also check performance before and after firmware upgrades for informational purposes. I'll report back with my results.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
