Can you manually set MTU and MSS on this router?

Yes. I also had some lag spikes when gaming on international servers

Nope, I meant MSS. Max Segment Size. Asus routers have a funky TCP stack that may need some tweaking - I think Asus might have an MRU setting too. But set PPPOE to 1480, MSS to 1412. It's also worth changing MRU if the option is there to 1412. Lag spikes are probably from fragmented packets and game engine compensation.
Just out of interest, how is your IPv6 implementation going on that router? We struggled with another client running IPv6 on similar hardware.

Even after making all the suggested changes the console still indicates that packets are fragmented. IPv6 is ticking along nicely no problem getting assigned an address or anything that I have noticed. Tell them to flash the latest Asus Merlin firmware.

@websquadza Any updates with the CPT->JHB routes?
Order placed on Friday, OS installed yesterday. Let the savings roll in!There we go,WS has added the Openserve to my portal now
So i've been switched over for a while,just got the invoice for openserve prorata next month and current month,and credit note for this month's vumatel from when I got switched
All in all happy sofar with the new cheaper accountjust had to do some small tweaks to my Mikrotik to switch to PPPoE from DHCP
What tweaks did you have to do? I'm also on Mikrotik. I've only disabled the DHCP client, switched cables and enabled PPPOE.
Download speed is fine at 50 but upload seems to be only 25.. did you have that?
@websquadza Can you check signal levels perhaps?Order placed on Friday, OS installed yesterday. Let the savings roll in!

PS. This is on wifi but multiple devices on different APs give the same result. 5G/2.4G doesn't matter and there's no interference.

Openserve confirmed 50 Mbps is asymmetrical, so you'll only get 25 Mbps up. Only the 25 Mbps is Symmetrical now.
Don't forget to enable IPv6. Shout if you need a hand
No speedtest here, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 25 up?
Didn't see any issues here. KZN right? We did see G Core's CDN crash earlier in the day (14:25 for about 25 mins). But no other issues
Following up here, will have some feedback asap.
Something's not looking right there, should be a bit lower than that. I'll reach out via PM and see what's happening.
Sorry man... I could have sworn OS was 50/50... guess I was looking at the 25 originally and assumed the 50 would be the same.
Ok nothing to see here... move along
PS. Please convey my thanks to norah and karabo who assisted me yesterday.
Yep KZN. Sorry I forgot to follow up. It came right after a few minutes. Could be related to the issue you mentioned, not sure.
