How do I setup high priority for one device in my network over all other devices? E.g., I need high priority for my laptop when I work from home compared to roku or iPad etc. I am surprised I don't see much under QOS for this router. 400 dollars is a lot for router with out moderate features
This is one of the features that's on my to-do list. Having said that, there are always tons of good ideas, and we have to make tough choices for each feature to make the cut on each release. One of the inputs I use is the Community. If this is important to you, please go vote for it.
I too work from home remoting into servers back at the office and need this QoS feature per device as well so I can set my laptop traffic to take precedent over the kids watching Netflix on their iPad. Where do we vote for this?

Two comments.
1. Where do we go vote? 2. I appreciate that you read these forums. 3. We should not have to vote on fundamental features like QoS.
If anything, manual QoS should have been stock and auto QoS should have been an upgrade. For example, I also work from home and my VoIP phone should never take a backseat to video streaming (or anything else). Furthermore, since it is encrypted you cannot detect that it is VoIP which places it in the general traffic queues.

I'd also like to know where to 'vote' for this feature. I have a CPI security camera that keeps 'dropping' the wireless signal. I'd like to make it a higher priority than other items in hopes that this would no longer happen.
I'm surprised this isn't higher in the priority list. My VOIP provider suggested much less expensive routers with QOS that will allow for better performance. I'm sure there are many great ideas out there but performance issues like this seem to need more attention as no service providers are pushing people away from Orbi given what they say should be a basic feature.
I use VOIP and streaming video entertainment. If the browser on my phone has to wait a few seconds, ok. I don't want my phone or video buffering or cutting out.
Looks like a reasonable QOS scenario.
Why can't I do this?

I know this is an older thread but my OLD WRT1900AC had all of the prioritizing and parental controls including restrictions by connected device. I am VERY surprised at how lacking the Orbie is with regard to management. I know you probably made it for the "masses" the set it and forget it folks but some deeper controls would be welcome.
Yes, it's been six months since this started... what's going on with adding it? Such an expensive unit should already have it when lesser ones already do.
Posting that to this thread is worse than useless. It shows a complete lack of understanding or caring about the complaint folks here have. We want to be able to prioritize some traffic over others. This is a very basic feature for a wi-fi router in 2017, much less nearly 2018.
Parental controls and monitoring enabled by Circle have very little to do with this. And that is before I get into the idea that I have to pay an extra $5/month if I want anything more than the most basic features of that service. At this point, you've put me off of buying another Netgear product and have convinced me not to recommend Orbi to anyone else. This is ridiculous.
Add me to the list that would really appreciate any information on whether this is even planned. I have been reasonably happy with orbi but this feature has me considering investing in a different router. I would prefer to just be patient if it is coming.
