QOS on RBR50
I am perplexed about the QOS setting having nothing more than a Speed Test button? Is it me? How are we suppose to assign priority?

Have you tested your router to see if the settings on this hidden page actually work?
I'm not currently using it as I have 1Gb symetric fiber and that's far more than I need to use, let alone prioritize.
However, when I was on DSL previously and needed to share limited speeds with voip and vpn, it seemed to help.
Do you have indication that it does... nothing?

No. In my testing, the non-hidden QoS page seems to do nothing, so it would be odd for this hidden QoS page to work.
I have not tested this hidden page myself, and I have never seen a post from anyone who has tested it. However, there are many posts on here wanting QoS, so it would be good to know if this actually works.
I use a third party router, so I don’t currently need QoS on Orbi either.
The QOS is basically broken and does nothing. It's one of about 10 things I wish netgear would fix. They either employ really dumb engineers or just plain don't care.
