Just setup the ORBI 852 and when I did a speed test on my speed app at phone which was at max my isp speed, my online game started lagging (my playstation was connected directly to the satellite using Ethernet). So I searched and it turned out it lacks QOS. What the heck.. Otherwise it's been barely a day but really loved the coverage. The nighthawk R8000 I am replacing with this had fantastic QOS.Any hope for a firmware update in the future to add the QOS? Tnx.

Fat chance on that wishlist item.... Netgear can't (or won't) fix DNS or other critical/compatibility issues...

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? Wired or wireless gaming? Orbi systems have never had QoS UI features. It's mostly automatic I believe. i gamed with two xbox consoles on my RNK853 system and have not seen any gaming issue. CoD online multiplayer.

I don't think it has any capable QOS in the system. When I do speed test which maxes out my 150mbs connection, even streaming suffers for the duration of the test. It's connected to the same modem I had my Netgear R8000 connected and it never allowed one device or connection to saturate the bandwidth, especially at the expense of gaming or videos.

I installed the Orbi yesterday day so it did the firmware update at that time as well. Whatever the firmware was as of yesterday is my firmware version (for both router and satellite)I am not sure why the modem it's connected to is relevant. It's a cable modem without any routing capability. I think you are thinking if it's one of those ISP router, it's not it's a docsis 3.1 modem

Very disappointed in lack of QOS in AX6000... Future firmware?
