Theres been debate on weather or not QoS is needed on Uplinks faster than 20Mb. I presume D-Link gave some thought to this and giving that the average home user, at least here in the USA, doesn't have uplinks faster than 20Mb, may have only allowed for 20Mb and that was it. Any thing more then that may not need any QoS as the Uplink would be fast enough to handle several connections with out problems. Most game consoles while gaming don't take up 20Mb at a time, I've only seen 5Mb bandwidth on my 360 max while gaming and thats on the downlink however I have 50/3 here so QoS for me is beneficial. I don't know for sure what PS does or what it needs. PCs are entirely different and generally can take up more bandwidth.
If you have 100Mb uplink then QoS maybe of no use to you as 100Mb should be great for uplinks.
If you used QoS, then you could set up a rule for the PS and set a priority at 128 or maybe 200. Set up a higher Priority for your PC that does the uploads to 50.
You can follow an example here:
DIR-645/835/868L/865L/826L Gaming and QoS for XBLThe uplink will be limited to the 20Mb max though...
I don't know if D-Link will be making changes to the QoS engine. Especially that this model router, as it's development should be closing as it's been about two years. Only changes would be to address any security problems in FW. The newer generation routers like the 880L and 890L with the new UI,

DLink seems to be keeping the old UI on one of there new follow on routers:

So I wonder... is it strange to want to use QOS with uplink speeds over 20Mbps?
One of my hobbies is to make video-registrations of my son's soccer matches and share these files (up to 10GB) over a cloud drive share. It takes about 20 minutes to upload (100 Mbps symmetric connection to the ISP).
During upload, I want to prioritize the network traffic of my son's Playstation. Isn't that what QOS is meant for?
Is the use of QOS somehow dependent on the uplink speed of the connection, otherwise than that it will take a little longer before game lagging can occur?
In other words: am I expecting something that makes no sense?
