Enable baby jumbo frames on pppoe connection

[nerdicus]

How do I enable baby jumbo frames on my AX88U Pro for my pppoe connection?

on the WAN side? that's MTU and MRU.
on the LAN side, it's under Switch Control

the WAN settings the mtu and mru control only goes to 1500, on lan side i see nothing to do with jumbo frames and with mtu and mru set to 1500 the ppp0 interface reports an MTU of 1492 in ifconfig

Advanced Settings > LAN > Switch Control in the GUI (Jumbo Frames Enable...might as well engage Spanning Tree while you're there)
I wouldn't worry about it unless you've an IPv6 ISP, because IPv6 will determine what's best for the connection automagically

no jumbo frame option

You can't. See previous posts asking this question.

Is this an issue with just the router itself or the merlin firmware?
My ISP supports using a 1508 MTU

Merlin is no different than stock firmware in this regard, unless Asus changed something for the 3.0.0.6.xxx branch.

They dont note anything around it in the patch notes

What exactly will the extra 8 bytes gain you?
