@Jaybonaut I’ve actually spent around 7 hours testing it so far, including several online games, and the improvement is quite consistent. The latency reduction might look small in numbers, but it’s definitely noticeable during real-time sessions - especially when multiple devices are active on the network.
AI QoS seems to handle traffic prioritization more intelligently than the standard QoS profiles. It quickly learns which apps or games need the lowest latency and adjusts bandwidth on the fly. In my case, the network feels more responsive overall, with fewer spikes and smoother gameplay.
So yes, while the change may seem minor in benchmarks, in daily use it’s definitely a meaningful improvement

Oh, only 7 hours. That might explain it. I've had AI QoS since it hit the States (weeks.) Human response time records are around 100 ms - now as far as gaming goes that is a huge amount of latency, but you are talking about a couple of ms difference, which should be within the margin for error.

I’ve spent some time testing the new beta firmware. I tried downloading a game through Steam while playing on GeForce Now at the same time. My ping increases when I do this, even with Gaming QoS enabled. QoS doesn’t help at all, even though it should.
@Kevin_Z Also the picture of the router disappeared where you can see the RGB effect. Why is that?

I get your point, but after using the beta firmware for a few days now, I can say that AI QoS has been quite stable and effective in my setup. The difference might look small in pure latency numbers, but the overall network behavior feels smoother - especially when several devices are active or when switching between high-priority tasks like remote camera access and gaming sessions.
It’s not just about a couple of milliseconds - it’s how consistently the latency stays low under load. That’s where I’ve noticed the biggest improvement compared to the regular QoS modes.
So while the technical gain might seem minor on paper, in real-world use it definitely adds up to a more responsive experience overall.
Glad to hear more people are testing it - curious to see how it evolves in future updates

@Kevin_Z hi, this firmware Archer GE800(EU)_V1_1.3.2 Build 20251013 has no 5ghz problems, the connection suddenly drops, then you try the connection again, after 10 20 minutes it drops

@Kevin_Z Tried 1.3.2 and found most of the previous issuee I had are still happening.
- 5 Ghz connection still becomes unstable after the router has been powered on for a few days. The only temporal fix is to do a hard reset, the issue would come again after a few days tho. I used a screen streaming app with network telemetry when the 5Ghz band was unstable and it was constantly dropping packets (The router was next to me, signal strength was 100%). I did also test both 2.4 and 6Ghz bands and they didn't drop any packet.
- Tether App initially was unable to display a list of connected clients into the router, that was still happening on 1.3.1 but now on 1.3.2 for some reason just logging into the router from the app causes the router to crash or something, it always drops all the Wi-Fi networks and it takes a while until they are visible again. If I use the router's web interface everything is working as intended, even the connected client's list.
