Confused what to select for WAN packet overhead?

Occasional Visitor
a little help please. My ISP modem is in bridge mode and I do all the settings on the Asus router. I have a static IP address and my question is what should I mark under -WAN packet overhead-FlexQos.!?🤖 Thank you very much!
Ps. I use fiber optic internet 600 down and 600 up.🖥️🎮

Somewhere on another forum I read to check mtu, my is 1500 (standard) and the largest packet that I can open without being fragmented : ping -f -l .... 8.8.8.8, in my case 1472, and that number from 1472 to 1500, which is 28, should be in -WAN packet overhead- Does that make any sense?

I would leave the WAN packet overhead at '0'.

Also if everything is working as intended I wouldn't mess with the default (1500) MTU settings. I've never messed with the MTU settings.

My problem is that I'm chasing a ghost 👻. I bought the router exclusively for gaming. When I get home from work and the kids go to bed, I like to take 3,4 hours to myself and just play that one game of Call of Duty. FPS games are very sensitive and every millisecond is important. I try in every way to get the best that an Asus router can give.

I saw from your previous post you have a fiber connection (600 down/600 up). You honestly don't need QoS enabled with this speeds. Are you noticing lag when you play?

Also please share screenshots from the QoS & FlexQoS (customize) tab to see how you setup QoS. I think you're using the Gaming rule correct for your PS5?

Also how did you setup the manual speeds & categories under QoS tab ? Please use the customize option and try to put the categories in this order:

Gaming
Others
Work-from-Home (can put out on top of gaming)
Web Surfing
Video/Audio Streaming
File Sharing
Learn-from-Home
