i went and bought a telstra modem, it seems to work when i wired it directly to the ethernet port on the orbi but doesnt work when its in the internet port, my phones and tv has wifi accept for the laptop, its connected directly to a lan port on the telstra modem, i tryed to switch to wifi so i can log in netgear but its not working, ive dl the netgear app but it says incorrect wifi mobile router, this router is not supported by netgear app, i have loged in the past with my laptop to block some device from using my wifi but cant seem to do it now, keeps telling me to connect to the orbi wifi network

The isp modem connection needs to be conected to the Yellow internet port on the RBR. Even in AP mode.
What is the model# of the new modem?

QoS on Orbi is all automatic and mostly a Basic QoS from what I gather. Orbi doesn't have a more granual QoS UI for users to make configurations.
