Maybe your understanding of QOS and mine is different. Of course I have no illusions that I can assign a priority to my packets that is going to be meaningful to anyone once they leave my network. But certainly at my choke point which is of course my Internet uplink, I can apply QOS (i.e. traffic shaping, which is what the OP's router was offering) to make sure that what little capacity is there is giving priority to my voice traffic. Think of my ISP uplink as that moderately congested road in which emergency vehicles need to have other casual traffic pull over and let it through. Traffic shaping is the effect of those vehicles pulling over and letting the voice traffic through in priority. This is exactly what OP's router was allowing him to do, albeit in what sounds like a really crappy way -- only 3 ports or something like that. b.
