M5100 Wifi 5 and M5200 Wifi 6 with exactly same results?
I have M5100 for 2 years that I use it almost dailly. Now I buy M5200 expecting improving my live stream latency after I upgrade all my gear to Wifi 6 but I don´t see any improvements and I don´t understand why!
I have exactly the same results live streaming on the network created with M5100 and M5200 using 5Ghz. Something is wrong and I don´t understand what it is.
All my gear are Wifi 6, I am doing live streaming with Iphones 11, 12 and Ipad pro 2021 M1... when I connect all my Iphones directly to my IPAD M1 I have 2ms latency on my live streams, it´s exactly what I expect to have when I buy/upgrade to M5200 expecting Wifi 6 will bring me this improvemnet but when I am using my M5200 my latency is 15/ 20ms, exactly the same I have with my M5100.
When I connect directly to my Ipad pro M1 hotspot wifi 6 network I have only 2, sometimes 3ms max, it´s a huge diference, it´s perfect.
This makes me think why I need my M5200!
I think something is wrong and I need some help from Netgear to explain me what´s going on? Why I M5200 Wifi 6 is not working as expected.
All my gear are new wifi 6 and the prof is that on a direct connection to IPad pro M1 all works as expected, streaming latency is perfect, but when I connecto to Nighthawk M5200 I have the same old results I have with my Nighthawk M5100.
Can anyone give me some help on this or direct me to someone how can explain me what´s going on with M5200 Wifi 6 and why there is no diference from old model M5100?
Thank you

What are some real-world ELI5 examples of idempotency or something being idempotent? It's very hard to understand from the Wikipedia definition.
- I don’t u understand what you are saying, did you reply to a wrong thread?
The problem here is why anyone is buying this routers and expend 700€ if we have exactly the same result with a 200€ router old similar model from netgear.I just send my Nighthawk M5200 back to amazon, this router is definetly not ready I hope Netgear come with some firmware upgrade that make a diference because in this moment ipad pro 2021 (M1), internal hotspot mode is a lot better solution in range and latancy then using this M5200 external router from Netgear, unfortunetlly.
