QOS vs port forwarding?
So there’s Portfowarding which I know how to set up in Advanced Options-But there’s also an additional “Port forwarding” option in the QOS tab.
Do I set up Port forwarding for both? Or do I set up port forwarding for QOS? Really confused here.
Do I need to set up port forwarding through advanced settings to be able to set up QOS for those ports to prioritize its traffic? Or does port forwarding through QOS do both? And should I disable Portforwarding for Advanced settings so I don’t have 2 port forwarding options forwarding the same port?

- Traffic Prioritization isn't port forwarding so you can use either at any time, Traffic Prio prioritizes packets either based on ports or through services such as 'Games Console'
