R9000 qos settings are missing.
I just purchased the R9000. I am trying to set up the QOS rules but if I go to Advanced -> Setup -> QOS Setup; I am only seeing WMM settings there. I have tried on both 1.0.1.20 and 1.0.1.18 version...
Hello All, we just released the firmware for R9000 with Dynamic QoS.

That's great! I hope I'll hear a positive feedback from your test.
ElaineM Among many new updates and fixes (great!), this v1.0.2.18 Beta has returned the "black magic" Dynamic QoS driven by a detection database v1.6 from more than a year ago. So it's a "believe" in back magic for now - users have no way to see what QoS rules are applied or if their preferred application or game is covered.
The other part - the R9000 is more and more an App platform, being for Amazon Drive, being for Plex. This alone should deny the (silly, sorry) requirement to factory reset it following each and every update - simply to much time and effort involved to get everything reconfigured again. When simulating a Internet connection with some basic DSL profile (with asymmetric slow uplink), the router does still not reserve the QoS for basic things like DNS queries, so a running backup to the Amazon infrastructure or one or two video streams to mobile devices can easily eat up all uplink capabilities. I feel the "Dynamic QoS" does not cover the App on the router at all.
The thing is that some newer Nighthawk models no longer have the manual QoS controls at all ... even if the related default entries still exist in the nvram default config.

When there are new drivers involved, like for wifi, reset to factory default. That's the way these routers are, including the competitors. If you want something more robust. move out of the home networking market.

We're talking of a US$ 499 list router.
I'm Alpha- and Beta-testing, using, promoting, deploying, and supporting consumer class CPE starting from smart modems since 1992, ISDN modems, ISDN dial-up routers, and DSL routers since the first generation, have specified leading edge commercial firewall systems and management interfaces for multiple vendors ... and commercially operating high availability true customer systems (the only one real cluster ever).
In all these years I've nowhere seen this Mantra like repetition of requesting a factory reset with each firmware update we see here repeated by support, community moderators, tech writers on the support- and KB-site and blindly repeated my community members "supporting" mostly inexperienced home users.
We're in the year 2017 - this is not accepted anymore, except as an emergency last resort solution.

PS. Beyond, the Netgear genie based routers still have no manageable firewall rules for Interne/WAN -> LAN. What a joke!
Guys, I have confirmed from our engineering team that resetting the unit is not mandatory after firmware upgrade.
For users who would encounter any issues, it is suggested that you reset the unit and reconfigure it from scratch.
The post has been updated as well.
Thank you!
brandoncbarker Thank you for that update.
