QOS- priority by device
How do I setup high priority for one device in my network over all other devices? E.g., I need high priority for my laptop when I work from home compared to roku or iPad etc. I am surprised I don't s...
This is one of the features that's on my to-do list. Having said that, there are always tons of good ideas, and we have to make tough choices for each feature to make the cut on each release. One of the inputs I use is the Community. If this is important to you, please go vote for it.

Two comments.
1. Where do we go vote?
2. I appreciate that you read these forums.
3. We should not have to vote on fundamental features like QoS.
If anything, manual QoS should have been stock and auto QoS should have been an upgrade. For example, I also work from home and my VoIP phone should never take a backseat to video streaming (or anything else). Furthermore, since it is encrypted you cannot detect that it is VoIP which places it in the general traffic queues.
Quick question on any updates on this. Is QoS priority by device already available for Orbi?
Is it available on the app?
Thanks!
I know this is an older thread but my OLD WRT1900AC had all of the prioritizing and parental controls including restrictions by connected device. I am VERY surprised at how lacking the Orbie is with regard to management. I know you probably made it for the "masses" the set it and forget it folks but some deeper controls would be welcome.
Yes, it's been six months since this started... what's going on with adding it? Such an expensive unit should already have it when lesser ones already do.
NetGear team - QoS is a critial feature these days.. From this thread you can see a high demand for it.
Some of your competitors have this in their Mesh based wireless solution already.
When can we expect this getting implemented via firmare update?
We added Disney circle with the 2.1 firmware which have deeper parental controls you will want to check it out.

Darren, what does Disney circle have to do with QoS? Can you please comment about Net Gear’s plan to add QOS priority by device?
