Dynamic QOS can tell when applications are active and will change bandwidth requirements to meet real time needs and then reallocate bandwidth elsewhere when it determines that these applications have become idle. Dynamic QOS is provided with an automatically updatable database of streaming services and hundreds of applications are supported out of the box. Devices can be renamed and a bandwidth breakdown can be seen either by device or application. Netgear’s QOS handles priority both at device level and application level and can be set manually or automatically. It is easily enabled in the QOS tab in the router GUI where an Ookla speedtest can also be run. Netgear’s Dynamic QOS is unique and automatically allocates bandwidth based on application and device type. QOS was also static and did not reflect real use scenarios where device and application needs change constantly.

Previously QOS was difficult to setup and often just linked to a specific application in the router gui like Netflix, Skype or Pandora and applied across the entire network, rather than to a specific pc or networked device. Ultimately each device will have a maximum of 120mbps out of the original 910mbps! A Mu-Mimo 4 stream router can send and receive data from three Mu-Mimo devices simultaneously, so each device can now receive 3 times the data in the same time span!ĭynamic QOS is amazing and worth the price of entry on its own. And this bandwidth will need to be shared between clients as each client needs to wait for its turn to access the router. A traditional 3 stream router may ideally support up to 910mbps of total bandwidth but single stream clients will only be able to access a third of that. Two or more Mu-Mimo enabled devices are needed in order to maximize the benefits of a Mu-Mimo enabled router. This improves network speeds and reduces wait times by as much as three times in comparison to non-Mu-Mimo routers.īe aware that Mu-Mimo improves 5.0ghz downlink only by letting three Mu-Mimo enabled clients share the same airtime. Mu-Mimo allows the router to send and receive data packets simultaneously to three Mu-Mimo enabled clients without the need for each to wait its turn. This process will impact network performance due to wait times and bandwidth sharing. Traditional non-Mu-Mimo routers transmit and receive data from one device/client at a time, while other devices in the network need to wait in line. The stand out features of this router, in my opinion, are Wave 2 Mu-Mimo, that is supported out of the box, Dynamic QOS, and 160mhz bandwidth mode on 5.0ghz (although there are no 160mhz mode clients available to buy currently). This is a 4 x 4 AC 2600 router that uses a Qualcomm QCA 9984 chipset with a maximum theoretical throughput of 1733mbps on 5.0ghz and 800mbps on 2.4ghz. Netgear have brought to market the finest router I have had the pleasure of owning, the R7800 Nighthawk X4S. Other Thoughts (Needed additional space). Was not able to run in 5.0ghz ac mode only
