Hello everybody, here is our latest update regarding Router Analytics Data Collection.

What I'm wondering is why Netgear is only using the R7000 routers for firmware analytics. Is there some fundamental issue with the R7000 firmware that they are trying to nail down? Is this just part of a phased roll out to other models? If this is a phased roll out to all models, I would like to ask why the R7000 router was chosen, despite Netgear having more powerful consumer routers.

If you read my prior post, the anylytics are for QoS only and it's also seen on my R7800 as well.
