Current Performance Optimization Database on Router RS700 so outdated.
I can't believe how old this optimization is for people that utilize QOS. Being a RS700 high end router I find it disappointing that this is what I am met with in QOS optimization. Version: ...

Possible with QoS standards and current speeds and such out there, DB may not need any updating or frequent updating. Most ISP speeds work well and beyond what QoS designs may handle. Most ISP speeds and such, don't really need QoS running on routers. I haven't actively used QoS in a long time since i've been on 1Gb services. 50Mb up. All routers i've been using have worked well for general items, streaming and gaming.
I'll check with NG on this and see if there is some feedback though.

Appreciate it. I happen to have 15 devices on my router, and when my wife is watching tv, playing on her phone, and her laptop all at the same time while I am gaming... I notice a huge difference in gaming with QOS on vs. it being off. 2023 seems just seems like for the people that still use QOS (I imagine very few), a very old database. Appreciate you checking with NG. Thank you.
