EE4g Home Router 3 and Sky Q

Because of their rural location, my parents were recently switched (by BT) from BT broadband to EE mobile broadband with a Home Router 3.  Speed improvement is great (was <3Mbps, now >100Mbps) but they cannot get SkyQ for anything that needs a download,  They can use other streaming services on their smart TV or laptops/tables fine, it's just Sky.

 

Sky engineer has been out but couldn't get to the bottom of it.  He suggested it might be the latency (theirs is 40-50ms),

 

Has anybody any suggestions from the EE side of how to decrease the latency?  They already have an external aerial.  

 

As I understand it, you can't change the DNS settings on the Home Router 3?  Is that right?

 

Also, a vague suggestion on the Sky forums is to set the MTU to 1492.  Is that something that can be done by us on the router?

 

Thanks
