Followed the steps
used the geo filter as directed, and enabled qos
Nat is Open, ping in game is low, still spiking badly, now i cant connect to the 5g network anymore.
5ghz was working yesterday
Was able to connect 5ghz to my pc, iphone, xbox.
The light is on but the network is not appearing at the moment.
It appears randomly
My old r7000 (4-5 years) had the same 5g issue. looked up and found that it might be a windows 10 issue.
Was able to play on 2.4ghz with no problem no QOS. although 5ghz was more ideal while i had it
Only frustrating thing is, i hooked up my r7000 and did a regular set up and everything worked perfect. The price of this thing i didnt think I would have any issues on start. But i guess there is still more that needs to be done before its optimal

If its spiking with QoS enabled then it's likely to be an ISP issue, recommend following this guide to test your connection and determine the cause: http://support.netduma.com/support/solutions/articles/16000074717-test-your-connection
Forget the network on your device, re-enter the password and should work fine.
