    It can be useful if your internet speed is slow and you need a device to have more of your service but for most people with 1 gb high speed internet service your wifi devices limit the speed of you wifi. Since the fastest speed is 1gb and the speed of most routers 5ghz band is 1.3 gb qos is useless the 2.4 ghz band may see some help with its speed but still limited to 600mb on most routers.

      Hi Spartano

       

      Off the topic is there any reason even at 2.28 and auto update checked in you still have 2.0 QOS DB dated 2015. instead of V4.0 dated 2017.

       

      As there are more than few keep reporting the QOS tends to broke at certian instances and no more priority and live traffic.
