WMM & XR1000
Hello, I´m struggling lately with any kind of traffic from my cellphone (webcam traffic 5 Mbps - 10 Mbps) and this affects to the latency on my PC to the router. I was wondering to start testing with WMM on & off but I cannot find the option on the XR1000.

I don't believe that option is available on the XR series. It would have been under Advanced tab/Advanced/Wireless settings if it was there.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

Is PC ethernet connected to the router?
Thanks for the rapid answer. I´ll try changing those on my phone.
- How do you have the QoS page setup?
Nop, keep doing the same. The latency between PC and router become crazy when I put some bandwidth between the phone and the PC. If I use the Internet bandwidth in my phone (like 4K YT) doesn't affect to the PC latency.

Channels Im trying the 161 on 1200 Mbps
My phone is a S22u
PC is connected trough the same WIFI6
Hello community, I got here looking for a weird issue that I never know what it was until I read someone here with the same issue. The thing is when I share my cellphone camera with my PC (both connected to WIFI6 Netgear XR1000) 20 Mbps, the PC starts to having a lot of latency with the router and with Internet too. I realize the last week because a reddit post, that could be the MU-MIMO feature that is enabled in router. I turned off and everything started working as it should. BUT, when past 1 day, it starts to "fail" again, and the feature in the router is turned off. What I have to do, is enable again and reset the router. That´s my workaround so far but I don't know how to fix it definitely.

Lets try a full on factory reset and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser:
Afterwards, set MU-MIMO to enabled.
Set manual channels to 1 and 40.
Be sure that Smart Connect is enabled.

Literally I put that info in the last message.. I do not use Smart Connect. This happen in both 2.4 & 5ghz.
