QoS Orbi RBR 50

Question

I am using ethernet right next to the router and modem and I would like that to be the priotized connection. The moment someone goes on youtube on their phone wirelessly, the bandwidth seems to split unevenly to them even though, I really need the speed for business meetings. Is there a way to give my Wired connection to Orbi the priority.&nbsp;

Is there a way to access this Dynamic QoS? It seems like this has been a problem for many many years.&nbsp;

It's automatic so no access thru UI.&nbsp;

You can try Voxels FW for Orbi:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Voxels-FW-available-for-50-series-Orbi-only-available/m-p/1883615#

When Orbi was first released, I believe there was a method to tinker with the QoS settings (although my memory of four years ago is hazy).There are still "QOS" web pages in the firmware, but they appear to be inactive.&nbsp;I think the only obvious solution is to buy more bandwidth.
