Confused what to select for WAN packet overhead?

[zli]

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

Yes, that's what I did. Gaming first and Learn-from-home last. I manually reduced the speeds and set them to 150 from 600. When I turn off QOS, the whole router is in chaos and I don't think it knows what it's doing.There is a lag in the game. It often happens that I shoot first - die first. It drives me crazy, man.I have a stable connection on pingplotter. Only 2 ms variation. My PS5 is connected via Lan cable.In 80% of cases the router does not recognize the Call of Duty App and switches to General. Whether FlexQos should be developed further or not, I don't know.I have an A+ score on Bufferbloat test. I don't know what else I can do to reduce the lag in the game? 192.168.50.93 is the IP of PS5

Turn off QoS. 600 down/600 up..... your problems are somewhere else. I wld recommend you contact your ISP to look at wiring/cables to possibly fix your lag.

I would recommend setting “Router/VPN Client Outbound Traffic Class” back to “File Transfers” instead of “Gaming”. No Gaming traffic would originate from the router itself, and I assume you don’t connect to the Gaming servers over a VPN Client? That’s the only purpose of this option.

When in doubt about the Overhead, choose “Conservative default”. Better to overstate the overhead than understate it.
