Nighthawl R7800 QoS: Router itself appears as "Low" priority, can't change?
I've been having trouble with LAN speeds, and noticed that the QoS settings on many of my devices were lost and/or reverted back to "Low" or "Medium" settings when I had changed them to "High" or "Hi...
What FW version are you using?
Whats your ISP speeds UP and Down you pay for?

Generally I have set my NAS devices, game consoles, computers, and mobile devices to "Highest".
In troubleshooting, I noticed that the entry for the R7800 Router itself in the "Attached Devices" section was set to LOW, which seemed odd to me. I tried changing the setting to "Highest" and hit Apply, but the setting won't take. (also tried "High"). Is it not possible (or for some reason not necessary?) to set the Router itself to have the highest possible level of bandwidth?
Thanks,

I'm using the latest available firmware, V1.0.2.44.
My ISP speeds are very fast: I am on Comcast's 1Gbps tier, and the built-in Ookla SpeedTest in the Netgear Router software is measuring my downstream at 516Mbps and upstream at 34Mbps.

Since you have a 1Gb speed support, it's recommended that QoS isn't needed and will inhibit full 900Mb +- speeds. So do a factory reset on the router and set it up from scatch, configured Wifi and thats it's don't touch or configure QoS at all.
QoS isn't really needed on 1Gb ISP services.
