M5100 Wifi 5 and M5200 Wifi 6 with exactly same results?

I have M5100 for 2 years that I use it almost dailly. Now I buy M5200 expecting improving my live stream latency after I upgrade all my gear to Wifi 6 but I don´t see any improvements and I don´t understand why!

 

I have exactly the same results live streaming on the network created with M5100 and M5200 using 5Ghz. Something is wrong and I don´t understand what it is.

 

All my gear are Wifi 6, I am doing live streaming with Iphones 11, 12 and Ipad pro 2021 M1...  when I connect all my Iphones directly to my IPAD M1 I have 2ms latency on my live streams, it´s exactly what I expect to have when I buy/upgrade to M5200 expecting Wifi 6 will bring me this improvemnet but when I am using my M5200 my latency is 15/ 20ms, exactly the same I have with my M5100.

 

When I connect directly to my Ipad pro M1 hotspot wifi 6 network I have only 2, sometimes 3ms max, it´s a huge diference, it´s perfect.

 

This makes me think why I need my M5200!

 

I think something is wrong and I need some help from Netgear to explain me what´s going on? Why I M5200 Wifi 6 is not working as expected.

 

All my gear are new wifi 6 and the prof is that on a direct connection to IPad pro M1 all works as expected, streaming latency is perfect, but when I connecto to Nighthawk M5200 I have the same old results I have with my Nighthawk M5100.

 

Can anyone give me some help on this or direct me to someone how can explain me what´s going on with M5200 Wifi 6 and why there is no diference from old model M5100?

 

Thank you

What are some real-world ELI5 examples of idempotency or something being idempotent? It's very hard to understand from the Wikipedia definition.

I don’t u understand what you are saying, did you reply to a wrong thread?

The problem here is why anyone is buying this routers and expend 700€ if we have exactly the same result with a 200€ router old similar model from netgear.

I just send my Nighthawk M5200 back to amazon, this router is definetly not ready I hope Netgear come with some firmware upgrade that make a diference because in this moment ipad pro 2021 (M1), internal hotspot mode is a lot better solution in range and latancy then using this M5200 external router from Netgear, unfortunetlly.

Somethis is very wrong with Nighthawk M5200 Router.

This images are taken in the same location, side by side both in 5Ghz only Wifi.

I cannot edit my topic but I need to make a correction, it´s nighthawk MR1100 vs nighthawk MR5200.
