You can try, but QoS in freebie ISP routers is typically terrible. Also depending on your internet speed it might not even have hardware fast enough to do QoS at those speeds.
Also, if your ping is already high without people streaming/torrenting it's very unlikely QoS will fix that.

In addition to QoS, some routers have the option to give your IP address priority over all other IP's on your network.
But I agree with Arie. QoS in most low end consumer routers is garbage and doesn't worth a damn.
I will tell you that, my "lag" when people are on netflix/youtube etc, has been reduced by about 90%, when I upgraded from a cheap $30 router to a $100 Asus Dual core dual band router with much higher specs. The performance generally so good I've never even bothered to try QoS.
I may be wrong, but I think the amount of RAM and speed of the routers processor has a lot to do with its performance in keeping gaming low latency when there is other heavy network traffic (e.g. streaming).
If you still have problems after messing with a few settings, you may want to think about getting a higher end router if your funds allow.

looks like the same interface that they shell out to centurylink customers for their dsl plan
even if not, zyxel & low-end actiontec routers have really shitty NVRAM and CPU speeds.
you could be filling up the NAT table or choking your connection from your slow CPU.
the main reason i'm necroing this is because, after being so fucking frustrated with my parents' satellite connection every time i visit them, i finally figured out a very accessible & extremely effective QoS solution using an ASUS RT-N16.
get the ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware revision 378.50 with an ASUS RT-N16
pretty much the most accessible & affordable QoS package that finally stops my packets from being dropped
although it doesn't utilize codel, it doesn't suffer from bufferbloat & requires minimal customization (if you want to go deeper, you can use layer7 rules in iptables, which the firmware's readme provides documentation for)
good inherent UDP and TCP timings are probably working alongside this.
the only disadvantage is that the RT-N16 is graded for 100 mbit networks, but it seems that your connection more than happily meets that mark. its wifi isn't top-notch either, if that's a big issue to you (weak coverage & wall penetration).
