Does CAX30S have QOS? If not, any practical way to add it?

Question

I just bought NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Cable Modem Router with 90-day Cyber Threat Protection Subscription (CAX30S) - Compatible with Xfinity, Spectrum, and Cox, AX2700 (Up to 2.7Gbps) DOCSIS 3.1

I would like to have QOS ... I think. My Dropbox swamps the upload bandwidth and I'd like the throttle it at the router rather than at the app. In any case, I can't find QOS in the menu so I thought I would ask if it is hidden or something. I'm looking via a web browser logged into the admin account.

The other question is if there is perhaps a 3rd party solution to this.

What is your ISP speeds UP and DOWN that you pay for?
QoS is automatically handled by the modem so theres no user configurations for QoS.&nbsp;

So your paying for 5-6Mpbs on the UP? Ya, this would be a problem. I would check with your ISP to see what your paying for officially on the UP.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
So when your uploading dropbox stuff, how large are these uploads?&nbsp;
Is other things happening like streaming for downloading happening when this is going on?
Please post a copy and paste of the modems connection status page.

(By the way, I can not find a suitable entry for the slot to put the model in this form)&nbsp;The Dropbox upload has been more or less a continuous 2.5TB upload over the past month. &nbsp;There has been pauses of course but generally it has been continuous. &nbsp;This will stop hopefully today or tonight.&nbsp;As far as other things, as you can imagine, depends. &nbsp;There are times when some are streaming videos. &nbsp;I generally judge the responsiveness when I'm surfing the web. &nbsp;The web pages load extremely slow usually. &nbsp;My assumption was that the reply packets to the web servers are gettig held up behing the Dropbox queue of large packets.&nbsp;Here is my Cable Connection page. &nbsp;I'm not sure that is what you wanted.&nbsp;
