NightHawk AX6 AX4300 (RAX45) QOS issue
Ive just logged into my router panel on the web and i went to enable QOS to set priority to certain devices. At first it was working well i was able to set priotity one at a time but then it stopped working. i refreshed and everything got set back to highest and now when i go to change it, it loads and still stays after highest. My wifi is all cluttered and slow, i tried disabling QOS and turning it back on to re-edit priorities but i got the same problem, everything is on highest. Is anyone able to help?

Thanks for the details!!
Thanks for clarifying the objective. (makes sense to me)
Alas, it is not clear (to me) that the QoS options on this router are designed to do that. Not having an RAX45 myself, all I can do is read the User Manual. Nothing in the manual appears to refer to identifying a device to have higher QoS than other devices.
Perhaps you could post a screen capture of the page used to specify that a specific device is to have higher QoS than other devices?
It would be helpful to know more about:
- Which QoS feature is involved (dynamic - on page 86 of the user manual, or WiFi Multimedia Quality of Service - on page 89 of the user manual)
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RAX45/RAX45_UM_EN.pdf - Is the goal to set QoS for specific devices or to applications which typically run on certain devices? From the user manual, it appears that these QoS features are defined by application, not by device.
The goal is to set QOS for specific devices. For example i want to set the highest priority to my PC and i would want to set low or normal priority to an amazon alexa.
