CAX80 NightHawk AX8 Cable Modem Has no QoS settings

I cant select the proper model as mine is not in the list; nor can I select a location because there is NOT one for Nighthawk AX8 Cable Modem.   Anyway is there any chance that the QoS settings can...

there is no QoS feature on CAX80 and no plans to add it.

 

in .36 there was QoS Menu but had only speedtest option in it. It was renamed to just speed test in newer FW.

 

So,there was never a QoS feature on .36 FW.

Can somone at NetGear (possibly vkdelta ) get the official reason from the engineers as to WHY the QoS settings were removed from the router side of this cable modem??

 

THANKS

    There was never actual QoS settings or feature (except Speedtest was labelled as QoS).

    It was renamed to Speedtest in newer FW.

      Can somone at NetGear (possibly @vkdelta ) get the official reason from the engineers as to WHY they did not add QoS settings in the router side of this cable modem??
