If that is the tplink router I think it is they might as well delete the QoS tab since it will accomplish nothing.

That device can only set the markings on packets not actually prioritize the traffic. Putting DSCP marking on packet is a complete waste of time on a internet connected router. The ISP will remove them as soon as they get the data.

Still it takes a very advanced router configuration to limit traffic. The ISP is in full control of traffic being sent to your house your router can do nothing if the ISP throws away or delays traffic you consider is important. There are some tricky configurations that limit some kinds of traffic but it does not work for everything.

None of this really matters. You have a DSL based device...

None of this really matters. You have a DSL based device and it does not have the features you need. Because it is DSL you can not load third party firmware to get the option you need and their is no firmware upgrade from the manufacture that has these features. Your only option is to buy a different router and DSL greatly limits your choice.
