R7000 Qos enabled but reporting as off.

[EMGonzo]

I have enabled QoS (by device) on my R7000.  When the router reboots, I see on the basic home screen that it reports QoS as off.  Even though in the QoS setup it's showing as enabled.  I don't know which to believe. Maybe this is a bug?  Here are a couple of partial screen shots

It appears to be a bug. See another thread here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/QoS-is-not-working-on-firmware-version-V1-0-...

[bripab007]

It appears to be a web GUI bug--when I switch to Dynamic QOS mode and apply, the front page status correctly shows "QOS: On". When I change back to advanced/manual QOS mode and apply, the main page status goes back to "off."

This happens on my R7800 as well. It maybe just reporting that Dynamic QoS is OFF. Might not be a bug. Maybe NG support and provide actual behavior. 

[bripab007]

If it's meant only to indicate status of dynamic QOS, then why not label it as such?

Also, someone on an older firmware predating the advent of dynamic QOS could confirm whether or not that status correctly shows when manual QOS is enabled--or whether or not that QOS: on/off label even existed. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but my recollection is that it's correct in older firmwares.

NG may have also changed the behavior. Something you'll need to ask support about. 

Good Luck. 

[bripab007]

If they changed the behavior of that QOS status, then they should've relabled it to accurately reflect what it's reporting on.

[FURRYe38]

Something you can inform NG support of. 

Good Luck. 

[bripab007]

Absolutely spot-on assessment.

Warmest regards.

Hi bripab007,

Is this the firmware loaded on your router?

Hello, I'm curious if you guys have used both advanced and dynamic QOS and have noticed a difference or improvement after use one or the other and how it effected latency?
I'm using a model under the 7000 and it only has dynamic qos and sometimes I still find myself lagging in online games and VoIP. What has your experience with either QOS choices been seeing that the 7000 has both options

[EMGonzo]

I'm not running that firmware you listed as I'm in Australia.

i was using the dynamic qos but I changed it to per device. I found it better but took more time to set up.

[bripab007]

Yes, that is the firmware I've got on my router. I also noticed the issue on the previoius firmware.

Also, I noticed that I'm unable to connect remotely to my router using the Netgear Genie app using this latest 1.0.8.34_1.2.15 firmware. From my cursory searching, it appears this is a known problem--is that your understanding?

[FURRYe38]

Something you might want to contact NG support for your region and see if there is any more help and information about it.
