how many devices do you have on that router?

QoS is just to specify a certain amount of bandwidth for certain clients. So if you wanted to make sure you vonage phone always had enough bandwidth to maintain a good connection, you'd specify a higher QoS for it.

Help? Not really...hinder? Slightly, but in 95% of circumstances you are not going to notice with it turned off or on.
