How do I enable Dynamic QoS on Netgear C7000v2
How do I enable dynamic QoS on my settings? When looking at troubleshooting on the official netgear site, there was no Dynamic QoS option in settings. Does anyone know where the Dynamic QoS option is located? (On the Nighthawk C7000v2 version)

Go here and put in the model number. Will take you where you can download the manual.

How fast is your internet connection?
The general view is that QoS gains nothing, and can slow things down, at speeds of >300 Mbps. Netgear also recommends this.
My current internet speed is under 300, and is currently at around 50-60. The most I've ever seen my wifi go up to is around 110 mbps.

Is that 50-60 a wifi speed? Something wired?
I doubt if QoS can do anything about wifi speed. There are many factors involved in that. For a start the wifi clients make a lot of difference.
Then there is local interference. Lots of neighbours may be using the same wifi channels.
On top of that, there is the way in which you measure speeds.
There are just so many variables.
QoS is about prioritising particular devices. If you see the same speeds when nothing else is happening on a network, then QoS isn't likely to do much.
