R9000 qos settings are missing.
I just purchased the R9000. I am trying to set up the QOS rules but if I go to Advanced -> Setup -> QOS Setup; I am only seeing WMM settings there. I have tried on both 1.0.1.20 and 1.0.1.18 version...

Hello All, we just released the firmware for R9000 with Dynamic QoS.

There is a beta for the R9000 what supposed to have QoS features in the UI now. Did you try this version?

I bought R8000 - got it to work really well after updating QoS.
Someone said, "yes, but you are missing Mu-MIMO".
Figured what the heck, returned the R8000 and bought R9000.
The R9000 was missing the QoS, the install program bombed continually, the firmware wouldn't update, etc.
I had thought the R9000 would have produced a stronger, more reliable signal than the R8000 but it did not. It also made me uncomfortable that the QoS issue had been know since December last year but was still not fixed.
Not being a tech and not interested in becoming one, I returned the R9000 to the store and thought "So I want MU-MIMO, the R8500 has great reviews, so let's get that one".
The R8500 installed better but the within an hour went into some kind of hardware failure where it started turning off and turning on by itself about 15 times before I unplugged it to put it out of its misery (with lots of intervening intervention on my part). It also did not produce the same coverage that I had achieved with the R8000 in the first place. Returned the R8500 and went back to the R8000.
Everything is good and back to normal. I will wait for the MU-MIMO tech to catch up in the next couple years before trying to make the switch.
