Does anyone know how to use QoS on the SmartRG 505n?

This modem router is confusing! I'm using it as the main router right now as it works pretty well and seems more advanced than my old router was. I just have zero idea how to do QoS as it's pretty complicated on this device. I don't need anything crazy, can prioritize the one machine either by Mac address, IP, or Ethernet LAN port if possible and that would be sufficient. Just not sure how I do that and haven't really found any guides online. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

Here is the manual: »www.start.ca/files/smart ··· 505n.pdf

I'm guessing the QoS is designed mainly to prioritize an IPTV stream that runs on a different VLAN. There's often no documentation for features like this and they usually don't work as you'd expect them to, but feel free to experiment.

It boggles my mind why someone hasn't put out a consumer device that just prioritizes small-sized udp packets, which would cover VoIP and gaming without the user having to configure anything..
