QoS causes slow download speeds

I am having problems with download speeds when I turn on QoS.  The speed drops from 65Mbps to 5mbps.  I use Direct Tv Now in the house and when someone is using it then speeds drop on my main computer, hence the reason for wanting to use QoS.  When I first started Direct Tv Now, last year, I set the QoS and everything was fine.  Now I just turn on QoS with no rules and the speed drops.  Also there does not seem to be a downstream QoS setting anymore, was this taken out by firmware?   Looking at screen shots I did in Jan 2017 there was a download QoS tab now it is gone.   Can I download a previous FW and reinstall it to get the QoS tab back?

You can download the older firmware from netgears support site and manual update the firmware not sure if the old qos will return then or not.
