I read in the feature list that TG585 v7 has QoS functions, but can't find it in the manual or the interface. Has anyone set one up before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is there and turned on ... and you will be appalled to find out the only method of manipulation is via the CLI.. or my sneaky direct editing of the configuration file..
Thomson have excellent documentation..
See http://www.thomsonbroadbandpa
For the cli manual and specifically the QoS manual,

You might find if you copy and paste this to word or something it looks better.

It is based on dscp packet marking.. the higher the number the greater the priority.
So top of the lot is VOIP-RTP.. ie actual voip packets get 14..
SIP gets 12..
Management ie things like DNS, HTTP, it also gets 12.
Streaming video gets 10
The bottom classification is interactive.. things like email, telnet get that. ie not time dependent. gets 8
Each classification goes into a different queue with less time cut the further down you go.
I can explain further but read the manual first.
To anyone reading this with one of these supplied by telstra..you are up the creek without a paddle.. they disabled cli/telnet and saving the configuration.
.. meaning you cannot change the QoS settings even if you wanted to.. !!
The great thing about the QoS on the speedtouch/TG it is proper standards based.. and via cli you can see if it is working or not.. ie which packets are pushed to what queue.. the vast majority of soho equipment does not allow any investigation of what the QoS packet filters are actually doing.
Good luck!!
BTW the cli manual is also necessary and if you suffer insomnia open it up and read for a bit.

How do I access this "CLI"? Where can I find the configuration file you mentioned? I'm on firmware 7.4.4.7
