Firmware version V1.0.9.88 is loaded with issues, It is suggested that the only good version is to downgrade to .42.
If you installed the .88 version after purchase you could try a reset and manual reconfigure as this latest firmware causes issues if loaded on top of older firmware.

Do you mean version 1.0.9.42? Also im scared to brick my router and render it useless, and how do I downgrade anyways as I am clueless. Also I had a really hard time setting my router up in my country (etisalat) its very complicated. If i re-enter the exact settings i used to connect to the internet ,(PPPoE user and pass, vlad ID) , it should work right?
I did as you stated and it worked as a charm, I downloaded the 1.0.9.42 firmware and Qos now is available. Thanks!
