I believe my wife's streaming habits are hogging up all of our bandwidth. What can I do? I've modified congestion control, updated bandwidth allocation, and checked traffic prioritization. What am I doing wrong?

Is the device your wife is streaming from connected to the XR router, or is it connected to the upstream router?
It needs to be connect to the XR in order for QoS to be able to prioritise your games over that traffic.
- The PS4 is connected to the XR router through wi-fi (2.4 GHz). The PS5 is hardwired to the router. They are both connected to the XR.
