I believe the QoS is all automatic now days for NG newer generation Orbi and Nighhawk routers.
Make sure the ISP signal up to the ISP modem is of good quality and condition first. Check with the Modems Mfr for any specs and troubleshooting signal quality issues up to the modem.
Be sure your using good quality LAN cable in between the modem and RBR. CAT6A STP is what I use and recommend.

I'm using the latest firmware on both the router and satellite. My Comcast connection is 1200Mbps down and 40Mbps up, with the modem set to bridge mode. I have 105 devices connected, and the channels are 1 and 40. I'm noticing poor latency when testing for bufferbloat over WiFi connected to either the router or satellite.
