    New router w/ actual QoS, 2.4+5GHz, wired

    Posting this as a followup: I did get an ASUS RT-AX86U, and so far it's been a solid router. My main beef is that I didn't know before purchase that most of the "advanced" features (like AiProtection, Traffic analyzer, Apps analyzer, and Adaptive QoS) send data to Trend Micro, which requires me...

    New router w/ actual QoS, 2.4+5GHz, wired

    Thanks for the info; I'm looking at the RT-AX86U. Can anyone else confirm that QoS works properly on these? At 100/100, you might not notice, but my old connection (1.8 up) was nonfunctional except for the computer set as lowest priority, when it was generating heavy traffic.

    New router w/ actual QoS, 2.4+5GHz, wired

    I'm looking for a new router, since my RT-ACRH17 is both flakey and its QoS settings don't actually do anything. Here's some info about my network and needs: Download speed up to 100 Mbps, upload up to 20 Mbps - continuous for days if needed, not "can handle in short bursts". Home network but...

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    How about other prioritization options, rather than per-device? I've managed to get the traffic marked with DSCP as CS1 at its source, but that had no effect either. In my case, my throughput to 'net is 22 Mbps down, 1.6 up anyway, so being limited to 350 isn't an issue.

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    Ok, got any recommendations for my application? Please add "reliable and fairly long life" to my requirements.

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    I hadn't realized how much router prices have increased. Wow. Would a RT-AC86U definitely fulfill my needs (listed above)? The product description seems to say yes, but so does my current router's description. I see one of the NewEgg reviews mentions the same sort of QoS issues that I'm seeing...

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    I can definitely try bridging the ISP-provided modem. If the RT-ACRH17 isn't capable of using any third-party firmwares, then I can't do that list of scripts. I don't have access to "adaptive QoS" in the existing firmware, and as previously mentioned I've already tried adjusting the "traditional...

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    Upload speed 22 Mbps, download 1.8 Mbps. Home network but with small server, used as external web server and internal file/backup server. 2.4 and 5 GHz networks (not all my stuff can do 5, and the extra range of 2.4 is helpful), in-network and guest for each. 2 wired connections (1 server, 1...

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    Any suggestions that don't involve replacing a router that's less than a year old? I'll keep it in mind, but paying more money for what the first one was advertised to do isn't really what I had in mind. For that matter, if there's firm documentation somewhere that QoS isn't actually functional...

    RT-ACRH17 QoS doesn't work, suggestions?

    I have an RT-ACRH17. One of the main reasons I bought it is that it is supposed to support QoS. My main application for that is to make all the traffic from one local machine that is heading for remote port 443 be absolute lowest priority on the network - it's a cloud backup that continuously...
