Wondering if there exists a proper method to give priority to the card readers in a bar in QoS?
"Priority" is the job of Q.O.S. There are some links here about Q.O.S:
https://draytek.co.uk/our-solutions/videos/draytek-webinars/all-you-need-to-know-about-qos
which include the recent Draytek 'webinar' on the subject.
However, "priority" is not the same as making it 'run faster'...
Your other traffic, has a real-time aspect to it - if it doesn't achieve enough throughput, it will not work. Equally, it will not take more bandwidth than exactly that required to do its job. We don't appear to be talking about intermittent or unpredictable traffic here.
"Bandwidth Management" (either at the WAN, or Wifi levels) imposes
maximum levels that cannot be exceeded. Q.O.S, by contrast, sets a
minimum share of the bandwidth, that the selected traffic will receive (it can receive more, if it is available).
You characterise traffic for Q.O.S. purposes, by adding an object and setting a Port and protocol. Alternatively, you can add a firewall rule and use things like Source and Destination IP address as well.
To solve this problem, I wouldn't do either...
The crux of the issue appears to be an overall lack of 'grunt' - you need a faster connection!
Personally, I don't consider ADSL a broadband product in 2021, though I appreciate that not everyone has a better wired alternative - even in towns. If this is the case, you can investigate 4G and 5G connectivity. Since this is appears to be a business, I'd just consider the extra outlay as "the cost of doing business"...
