Some question about XR1000

Hi All:

 

Here's my first question: Does anybody know if the XR1000 supports bridge mode? This feature can be found in other Netgear Nighthawk models such as the R7000.

 

Another question I have is, how do I set up QoS? Regardless of what changes I make to the settings, I don't feel any improvement in my gaming experience. have any suggestions for the setup?

thanks

    Page 146 on the User manual refers to "Enable or disable MU-MIMO". This is not Bridge mode. 

    I have the XR1000 and XR450/500. They've never supported bridge mode.

    If you mean wireless bridge (repeater) mode, then check the manual.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Looks like it.

    Like your first question, you might get better answers in the appropriate section for the XR1000

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    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:

    Nighthawk Pro Gaming Routers - NETGEAR Communities

    Gaming routers have their own DumaOS operating system that is nothing like the one on Netgear's standard routers.

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

      That's not what the manual says. See page 146 "Enable Bridge Mode". But who knows given Netgear's dreadful record on that front?
