Nighthawk MR5200 extremely bad WiFi 6 latency

Why does the Nighthawk MR5200 have such bad Wifi 5 latency?

I have M1 and M2 and both are fine, no great but fine, now that I buy M5 it's impossible to keep my streaming going on with this router.

 

I see other people complain about similar situations but how can wifi 6 be worse than wifi 5 side by side in the same situations, both using 5Ghz only.

 

Netgear what have you done?

Can you fix it!

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:


    Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems

    Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

    You should know that this community is essentially a user-to-user venue with some input from a small band of Netgear techies who may be able to help you out.

     

    Most of the answers come from fellow users who have no connection with Netgear. They just have a lot of collective experience and are familiar with the sort of problems that turn up here.

     

    If you want "official" support then you should go through the right channels.
