Dynamic QOS in Orbi

i asked Netgear Support about if there Dynamic QOS in Orbi mesh routers like there is in Nighthawk routers.
they told me there isn't in Orbi and i can write about that idea here.
if many people liked that,they may add it 8n the new versions of Orbi.

    It might help if you explained why do think you might benefit from this feature?

     

    QoS is a dying tool, as Internet speeds render it unnecessary. Thanks to the processor power needed to make it work, the general view is that QoS is actually a hindrance for Internet speeds above around 300 Mbps. Sometimes people finds that disabling this increases their speeds.

     

    For truly sophisticated traffic management, for things like gaming for example, Netgear has introduced a range of "gaming routers" that use the DumaOS operating system.

    i thought it is useful because i have speed internet 16mb/s and when i play game and someone watch YouTube or download files.all the speed goes to videos & download files.and there is lag in games.

    the router makes the priority to YouTube & download files is number 1.

    So I'm afraid that when i have above 300 mb/s in the future,the YouTube will take most of speed and cause lag to other people in the same network đŸ˜„

    How can i make priority of games is number 1 in any router?
