RAX50 - issues with 1) network priorities and 2) blocked sites

I bought a Nighthawk AX50 to replace my R6300v2 - love the speed increase.  Not much of a significant improvement on wifi coverage though.

 

Anyway, I have a couple of issues.

 

1)  Cannot set network priorities.

After applying the settings and the router rebooted, the priority remained the same - some stuck on High, some on Normal, and I want to set my NAS on highest priority.

 

I found an old post on another router suggesting to try using a different browser.  I tried Microsoft Edge (new), Google Chrome, Firefox but nothing has changed.

 

2) Block sites

It will only block connections to sites if the device is using wifi.

 

Is this by design?  What about devices connected to the router via network cables?
