QoS is absolutely not useless on a domestic router, in fact that's the best place to implement it. The whole point of it is that it is done in the router and so you don't saturate the uplink. Even the £5 DIR-615 can be made to have proper queue and rate management. Most decent domestic routers come with it built it.

Not sure what you're trying to say. It sounds you're trying to fix a lack of QoS by implementing the worst possible form of QoS. Which is just plain stupid.

The router in question doesn't have any QoS so it's all moot anyway. But even if it did it'd be idiotic to suggest dumb QoS based on MAC addresses is better than clever QoS based on actual protocols.
