Xbox Optimized QOS
According to the description of the R7000 it has optimized QOS for Xbox and I read a review that mentioned that Netgear worked with Microsoft to get the best optimization possible for gaming and the new Xbox one.
So, my question is do you need to set up this Xbox optimized QOS or is it already setup out of the box optimized for Xbox?
Just wondering because I currently do not use QOS on my WNDR4500 and my gaming is fine, so I wonder if the R7000 will be even better.
Thanks for any info.

- Okay.... have to understand port forwarding XBOX and QoS/Prioritization are 2 separate configurations. Port forwarding configurations allows you to enter XBOX live and use the Mic for voice. QoS/Prioritization then sets the XBOX as the HIGHEST priority so it will receive the most bandwidth for lag free gaming!!!! Over someone else who is on YOUR network surfing the web and possibly streaming youtube or buying stuff on Amazon!!!!!! Your XBOX will take priority over all of that!!! Here is the Port forwarding config. If you have a firewall or network hardware, such as a router, you might need to make a configuration change in order for your PC or Xbox 360 console to communicate with Xbox Live. This configuration change is sometimes called “opening ports” or "port forwarding." Xbox Live requires the following ports to be open: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP)
