How is there no QoS configuration on the top-end AX6000 devices?
The "automatic" QoS management on my RBK852 system is terrible and there seems to be no way for an end-user to manually invoke any settings to improve it. I have a large NAS that syncs to cloud back...
Actually there are still routers that have full QoS configuration, like the one I use...
I personally prefer using the Wifi system as a separate Access Point along with a full featured WAN router/firewall.

It was less troublesome, though it was annoying to configure (had to be done through a phone) and I was expecting that Netgear would be better on that front. Every single router I've used since around 2006 has had more powerful QoS configuration settings than the non-existent QoS settings on the Orbi AX6000 system. It's not even something I thought could be a problem at this point.
Yes, I assumed that QoS was something that almost all consumer routers have at this point, especially at the high-end. I may switch to Synology or Ubiquiti since they seem geared more toward prosumers who actually care to manage their networks. It's just shocking because Netgear advertise the power of the hardware in their AX6000 with tons of RAM and multi-core CPUs, but what is the point of having all that power if they don't have any software features?
