Also, having the ability to do at least 4 or 5 vlan tags, and some real LAN firewall rules should be a given on these units. I don't see why there are not some simple IP and port permit/deny options. Wouldn't that make the device fierce competition to the industry outside of pure home consumers?

I mean ...my cheap Cisco ASA 505 is great for vlans and fw rules.

    You can check the new firmware for the device that supports Dynamic QoS.

    It allows to define the Device Priority with the attached device list. Perfectly sufficient for most applications in my opinion.

     

    For now, this seems to be limited to the Web UI, this control is not available in the Genie App for macOS, Windows, Android, ..

        Hi ElaineM,

         

        Is 12 April the day it became available, or is this supposed to be the release date? Asking, because my R9000 does show this:

         

           Current Performance Optimization Database on Router
            Version: netgear-detection-db-v1.3
            Release Date: Mar 22 2017

         

        Regards,

      Just bought the R9000 and could not find QoS.

      Did the firmware update and still not there.

      What is the status on release?

      Thank you,

        Whatever you have installed, crystal ball is on a holiday with grand aunt in Transylvania in the land of Dracula these days. Of course I have an idea ... the official download is still stuck on 1.0.1.18 8-/

         

        We're menawhile talking here of a Beta 1.0.2.18 listed here in the forum sticky topics -> https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R9000-Beta-Firmware-1-0-2-18/m-p/1249132#U1249132 ... the official release is delayed due to some kind of reliability issues (and a long list of open issues...).

         

        Regards

        -Kurt
