Gosh what a surprise. QoS not working.
Doesn't work on current been out router either.
DarrenM is Netgear ever going to be able to supply firmware where the basics work?

What is your Internet speed? Maybe you do not need QoS.

Have you tried to disable the QOS renable and then enter the value again?

Not convinced the bandwidth you configure in the QoS settings - which is mainly used as a base for the QoS service allocations (some black magic) - is also supposed to act as a hard bandwidth limitation. Where have you read this is intended to work as a global bandwidth limitation?
We've seen a few users in the past who have tried to install multiple routers on the same Internet connection, and use this setting to adjust the available bandwidth - which came to the same conclusion.
