Adaptive QoS on 5G connection

[peevesillinois]

Hello!
I'm using a RT-AX58U V2 that is being fed with a 5G-connection through a bridged ZTE-router. Most times I get about 500 Mbit/s download and 20 Mbit/s upload. Bad times I'm in the low 40 Mbit/s. The main question is whether Adaptive QoS is applicable under this circumstances? I read somewhere that the router continuously is supposed to check the current connection speed and adapt QoS accordingly, but I would like to know more about this. How often does is check, every second, minute, hour, day?

Also, regarding the QoS-categories. how to identify what a certain activity is categorized as? Let's take Microsoft Teams and Slack as two examples, which are key during working from home. Would they fall under Video & Audio streaming, Working-from-home or Learning-from-home? It's tricky to set prio correctly. If it even matters at all.

Thanks!

Best / P.

I don't know if QoS would help at all. Do you have a minimum guaranteed speed from your ISP? Does the speed drop like this with the ISPs router? If so you may have a case against your ISP. Start gathering evidence at your earliest convenience and approach them.

No minimum speed guarantee really, but I almost always have a great connection with 300-500 download and 10-25 upload. During heavy congestion in my area it was down below 50 once, but thats still OK. My main question is if QoS does work (and if so how) on a variable speed through a connection such as 5G.

The Adaptive QOS is supposed to work on WIFI and Ethernet connections. For me, it works pretty well with fixed values. The Auto bandwidth settings are iffy - sometimes they do work. Mostly, however, the Asus QOS has never worked as it should work. Your case with cellular variable bandwidth may be a lost cause...
