QoS Setup Orbi RBR850

I just got the Orbi RBR850.  So far I like it.  My question is about the QoS Setup.  I read in an older post for a different Orbi model that you can't adjust the settings.
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-do-I-configure-QoS-settings-on-Orbi-RBR50-router/td-p/1813567

I didn't turn on this feature and all I see on the panel is to do the speed test.  My question:  Is the Orbi RBR850 defaulted to always have this on, or can it be turned off? 

Thanks,
Robert

  • You should be able to turn it off. Arguably I find it better on, when doing speed tests. It works for my streaming devices, but I may suffer some speed loss on others. But who really knows as speed tests can be different each time you do one.
