QoS priority assignments not working AX5200

When I go to change the priority in QoS, none of the changes get reflected and stay the same as they were from the start, i.e. changing the High to Normal and another Normal to High. The UI on the router login site doesn't have any other options for QoS outside of this. I enabled access control, tried defining the bandwidth manually, etc, and nothing has allowed me to edit the priority properly. Any help would be appreciated!

  • Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk RAX WiFi 6 Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

    What are you trying to achieve with QoS?

     

    If your Internet service runs at >300 Mbps – some say >200 Mbps – the usual advice is to avoid QoS.

     

    You probably don't need QoS and it just eats processing power in the router.

     

    This is not a device specific issue. So no reason to "sling yer hook" and waste your time cluttering this place with multiple questions. But if you do want to talk to the small band of RAX users here, by all means duplicate your conversation.

     

    You can also consult the manual to see what it says about QoS.
