Even on the latest firmware, quality of service is completely useless on the upstream, the idle is high too at about 25ms downstream is always A but there are spikes of 356ms upstream, turn QoS off and you get a A or B is every time and idle goes back down to normal so something is really not right with QoS on this router.

    Once again known port scan and dos attacks have stopped after just over 24 hours. Other logs seem to work fine. This is with router in AC mode for comptabilty testing, and a full factory reset after the update. There has been a lot of port scans in the last few days but having those logs die after such a short time is not gtreat if I am havinf Dos issues. Only way to get it to work is to reboot the router and I'm not doing that every 24-26 hours of there abouts. Also the difference between QoS on and off on a hard wired connection is odd too.. This is hardwired with QoS off: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/57213332 and hardwired with QoS on: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/56901687

     

     Has anyone else on .100 and .108 seen the issue with security logs stopping after a short period (if you have those feaures enabled of course.)

      I've not got an RAX120 but was logging with the RAX80 to provide files for the support case I have open regarding Wi-Fi connectivity problems.

      I found maybe only 50-60% of the log files contained real data. The rest of the time I just download a empty zip file around 1.5mb.

      I asked the support why this was happening (web interface not registering correctly the start logging request our perhaps the router soft rebooting).
      As usually I got no answer just the request please make some more empty logs..

      Do you need QoS? How fast is your Internet connection?

       

      Anything above 300 Mbps probably makes it pointless.

        My internet connection is 200/20.
        But I don't think I need a device feature to expect this to work well.
        The activation of the QoS entails an E or F rating in upload, deactivating QoS the rating is C: it works in reverse.
