I've limited the priority throught the QoS for my Essentials WiFi 6 (WAX204)
But somehow the Xbox overwrites(?) this. And honestly I'm baby faced new to this so the only tool I've used is the QoS priority.

'm trying to watch a video (Baseplate) & I'm the "highest" priority. However the Xbox (Xbox) which is idle is still using 22.77Mbps. I've just been kicked out of a match of Siege due to poor internet connectivity.
I elaborate in my previous posts but in short:
- Xbox consumes all network bandwidth
- This crashes the internet for the rest of the network
- Xbox doesn't have a means of limiting it's internet usage
- QoS is inneffective
- Because Netgear isn't working. I've been looking through the forum for a solution to this problem, and the proposed solution for Netgear doesn't work
