Orbi Router - QOS Setup

[Desmond_Lau]

When I go to QOS setting, only see "Speedtest - powered by OOKxx", When I click the speedtest button, it will take a long time to run.  After that, I go to Satellite to check "Connected Device", the message box "Please wait a moment" popup.  But nothing refresh.  I think this is a bug....  anyone can test it?

The solution for "Please wait a moment", I need to restore my backup setting (FW version V1.10.1.2).

QoS is disabled when Orbi is set to AP mode:

Do you have Orbi set up as a Router or in AP mode? If you have it set to AP mode the speedtest is all that will show up under QoS as everything else is disabled.

I just installed a new RBK53 on Sunday.  It is running the latest FW, and it is in Router Mode, but the only thing that appears under QoS Setup is Speedtest.

[Desmond_Lau]

No, my Orbi Is router mode,

Same here for AC3000 running V1.10.1.2. I see speedtest and nothing else. Speed test works, but that's all that tab does.

I work from home and need to be able to prioritize my VOIP phone. It will not be recognized by the Orbi as RTP because the stream is inside a VPN tunnel. Even if it was recognized, I need to ensure that it has priority above all the other RTP devices that are streaming entertainment.

This was easy on the WRT54G running DD-WRT. I simply set the MAC of the VOIP device to highest priority.

If in your browser you enter the following after you log in - it will show a QoS page.

/QOS_dynamic.htm

However - when I try this I'm not able to actually "Apply" those settings. 

Anyone know how to solve that?

I was able to Apply change on that /QOS_dynamic.htm page by very carefully hovering the mouse on the bottom edge of the Apply button. It seems the page is unfinished and untested. Nevertheless, after hitting Apply I received a dialog about sending my MAC address to "the provider", then had to check the Dynamic QOS box again and hit Apply a seccond time. It stuck. No idea if it actually works. I'm about ready to use Orbi as an access point and move to Mikrotik for more capable routing.

[Mestegall]

While I was finally able to click "apply" thanks to your advice - I'm still not able to see where/how we can set the priority of how devices are connected to the internet. I have a wireless CPI camera (security) and often it keeps 'dropping' the wifi signal. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when this happens. I'd like to make it a higher priority to see if that will fix the problem. 

Any ideas?

When will Netgear officially support QOS on Orbi ? I have the exact same issue and get occasional disconnects on my main PC and ipphone and want to prioritize them.

[sdyarnell]

I also have this issue. I have 2 IP cameras that consistently stop working with the Orbi, but they keep their IP. I am trying to add some QoS prioritization to these cameras in hopes that it maybe makes a difference. With this page being basically blank, I cannot do this.

[Boomerang3]

Your issue sounds like signal quality / strength?

[sdyarnell]

It is not. I have 45db in both rooms due to the sattelite.

[Boomerang3]

Yep, hmmm.  I've got both old and new Foscams hooked up, no issues.  Course each camera is different.  So you think its the Orbi dropping the signal or communication?

[sdyarnell]

I dont want to hijack this thread, so if I continue to see issues with my camera, I will make a separate post. After disconnecting/reconnecting my phone from the wifi, I can now ping and view my cameras... idk.

To stay on topic, Netgear, please fix the QoS page. I would like control over which devices get priority.

I was having a similar issue with the router freezing (looks like wifi dropping on some devices).  I updated the firmware on both the router and satellite.  Changed the wifi channels my router was operating on, disabled 20/40 coexistence mode, enabled beamforming, and enabled mu-mimo, some of which was at the direction of Netgear support.  I haven't had issues since.

[SKK]

Let me give a shot to changing above settings and hope it improves.. 

[rbk50]

When will Netgear fix this? 

Seems a persistent problem even in router mode, I only have access to do a speed test on the QoS page, nothing more.

[mtbor]

It doesn't seem they care about all of their features working.

[jqt]

me too.  Same problem.   Only get the speed test.  If Netgear is listening..  Please fix this fast.  Thanks
