Very disappointed in lack of QOS in AX6000... Future firmware?
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...
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.
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?
- 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 modemSo you have v18.1 is laoded?
Did you factory reset and setup from scratch?
Reason for asking about modem brand and model is that some modems can come with built in routers and wifi which can cause problem. Try to determine this or not. So kind of relavant. Up to you if you want to give feedback though.
Might put the R series router online as your host router then configure AP mode on the Orbi system.
I use a NG CM1200 and have had both RBK50 and RBK853 systems online and gaming with wired consoels. However I have 1Gb ISP service.
- Thanks for your assistance Fury, like I said, it's not a modem router combo, it's just a modem. And I goggled it, QOS doesn't exist in this router. Meaning it doesn't prioritize traffic. It was brand new units installation so factory reset was redundant. I won't install old router, I will just wait and hope for the QOS that exist in my R8000 from netgear eventually comes to this. If not, like I said very disappointing considering how much I paid for it. I game online (NHL 21 for example) and it was only during a speed test (ookla phone app) that the game lagged and that too because speed was showing 155mbs (my actual bandwidth supposed to be 150mbs lol), meaning the app was using the full bandwidth and then some. A proper QOS was supposed to prevent thst. Heck there isn't even a qos setting, just a speed test tab in the router portal. I was just wishfullly thinking if there's a chance for an qos update in the future because otherwise I really like it. The coverage and speed is phenomenal.
