Why are you using QoS?
As the title said using a RAXE500 with QoS and downloading applications causes the network to that device drop out.The speeds you quote – if they are what your ISP delivers – are well above the levels of around ~200 Mbps where QoS is useful.
If anything QoS could slow you down as the router's processors does its stuff.
QoS is for old services where you had to fight to get games to run fast enough.
Have your turned it off to see if the problem goes away?
Hey,
Thanks for the reply!
What Firmware version is currently loaded? V1.0.10.86_2.0.40
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? its FTTP using an Openreach box as i am with BT, not sure of the details
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 or CAT6A STP depending is recommended.
Using Cat 6E from OTP to the router and cat 5E (through the walls) from the router to desktop.
Are you using the 1Gb internet port or the multi gig port connection from the router to the ISP modem/ONT? using the 1gb port
Thanks

That could be the dreaded modem/router HomeHub combination that BT loves, and deters you from using it in modem only mode.
If so, you may have piled router on router, Not usually a good idea.
This explains some of the drawbacks.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
It is often easier to use just one router and then to set up the second router as a wifi access point. Netgear advises this, as does just about every site you will visit.
