No QoS in AP mode

[RHash]

Running 2 R7000s in AP mode to cover 2 floors of a large home, one on the 1st floor one in the lower level. They run behind a VPN Firewall router.

In AP mode it seems I can not access the QoS tab, it is grayed out.

Is this a normal default?

Anyway to optimize traffic in AP mode?

I see the WMM is enabled is this the same?

Does Netgear have a list of R7000 features that are loss in AP mode?

Thanks

Ralph

   A Web search for terms like, say:
      netgear router ap features
should find a document like:

      https://kb.netgear.com/26765/

      The following router features are not available (grayed out) when
      the router is in AP mode:
      [...]
          o QoS
      [...]

   That's a router function, not an AP function.
