Yes but windows QoS stack is on a per system. Routers QoS is suppose to handle all traffic going through the router.
For most people though the Windows QoS would be fine. For people like me who have LOTS of devices utilizing the router the router QoS should handle all of those duties.

Ok ProTip for Asus routers. DISABLE QoS! Since disabling it my speeds copying from the laptop (wireless) to the server went from < 100KBs to >6MBs.
I thought QoS was suppose to improve performance? Wonder if Asus is aware of that problem.
Wired is 9-10Mbps both ways. (limitation of the current nic)
I've looked at various settings but the only thing I could think of is maybe QOS is causing a problem. I'll try turning it off and see what happens.
Oh I understand on the R5 idea however I am working towards 24 drives and R6 will provide much better redundancy in that 2 drives can fail safely vs R5's 1.
Speedtest is a good idea. I'll go run that real fast and see what happens.
The server is wired not wireless. So it is between a wireless and wired.
I ran CrystalDisk on the R6 and here are the results.
I ran CDM and here are the results. How do they look to you all?
