Nighthawk x10[R9000] To Nighthawk Tri-Band AX12[RAX200]

So I upgrade from R9000 to RAX200 Router, I was hoping to see at least 10% Wi-Fi speed improvement but seen none!!! I got Verizon Fios Gigabit speed but surprise to see no improvement over the previo...

Well? What's the verdict? Was WAN aggregation added? QoS? DFS? All DFS channels?

 

Also, are you liking the RAX120 any better now?

 

Screenshots please.

This is awesome! Netgear took my advice to allow QoS to be turned on for upload only. This is huge for folks with assymetrical gigabit Internet.

 

Now QoS can be turned on to help combat bufferbloat without crippling download speeds.

 

Thank you Netgear!

    To be more specific, this is incredibly helpful when your Internet connection's upload speed is <100Mbps.

    I got one at Best Buy on the 10th, the upload QoS is actually pretty good getting good scores on bufferbloat tests, a bit more consistent than streamboost on the R7800.

    After I reading a couple posts regarding the QoS in the RAX120, I took a quick glance at its source code. Unfortunately, it was older code from a couple firmware releases back, but it looked like there were several flavors of QoS/AQM/SQM compiled in. Everything from qos-scripts to fq_codel. It didn't look like QoS had been fully implemented yet, but they've obviously implemented something.

     

    Thanks for posting your thoughts...
