Qos Upstream and Downstream greyed out?
Hello,
I have the Nighthawk R7000 and I been trying to enable my Qos but it is greyed out and I can not select anything...any help would be great!
Hi Norvell1984,
The router uses dynamic QoS.

Is the r7000 suppose to have the QoS upstream and downstream options?
Mine does not... of course I am using firmware version 1.0.7.12_1.2.5
Will a frimware update make the option available or is ti not capable?
If not then does dynamic qos device priority options work the same way?

Hi Norvell1984,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
I am only paying my IPS for 2Mbps which I found out is megabits not megabytes and the Nighthawk is suppose to be able to manage 600 to 1300Mbps which is 75 to 650 megabytes...
Anyways, I have 4 people using the internet :
1 on FaceBook apps 24/7
1 streaming news 24/7
another playing online games
and I use it to find things online to fix problems and occasional YouTube...
Does Dynamic QoS work similar to QoS upstream and downstream? As I would like Downloading to be above all then streaming then gaming... and seeing how I only have Dynamic or manual Qos I went with manual with high hopes, but I see no improvement..
I use to be able to stream YouTube videos smoothly with everyone on, but lately the videos reset and only show a big YouTube play button on the video screen area even when trying to play ads, when they do load even at 240p they load as if on dial-up.
Your help was useful, but I am having trouble figuring out if it is my setting on the nighthawk or something to do with my IPS that is causing the lag.Hi Norvell1984,
Identify which devices that uses downstream and set them to high priority or check for the applications that use downstream and set it to high and identify the devices or applications that uses upstream and set it to low.
