Can't check Enable QoS box on RAX80 Web UI
Setup is 1G xfinity service, Netgear CM1150V modem, Netgear RAX80 Router, Router on 1.0.1.56 Firmware.
I'm having random 5 second lagspikes/packet loss in games and want to enable QoS. In th...
Hard to say - in general (Netgrar's) QoS does not make any sense on Internet connections with these bandwidth, it will create an impact on the performance. Potentially - and now I'm on a wild guess - the embedded dedicated data stream processor where this QoS is run can't deal with that bandwidth (or it was simply not easy enough to redirect the [most likely again Linux bonding] software aggregation port to it).
Netgear, and just about everyone else, recommends disabling QoS on Internet speeds much faster than 300 Mbps. That's a bit slower than the original advice, but as you say QoS puts a load on the router, so implementing it seems to be a pointless exercise.
Same (or similar) issue with QoS and RAX120.
I was helping a buddy with his RAX120 and noticed just the speedtest functionality works. He has a 1000/50 Internet plan. Upload speed showed 53.5 Mbps. The QoS option states it's for upload only. I cannot for the life of me understand why Netgear wouldn't allow QoS to be turned on. This is the perfect scenario for the upload only QoS functionality this router has.
I'm confused and frustrated :manfrustrated:

If manually setting say 100/50 ... can QoS be enabled? I fear it's disabled intentionally for whatever reasion.

Can't agree more.

Not an option... the upload value field is uneditable... just like the checkbox to enable QoS.
The only way to change the value is run a speed test.
