Setting the MTU Size
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes,
1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436 for PPTP connections. For some ISPs you may need to
reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is
necessary for your ISP connection.
Any packets sent through the router that are larger than the configured MTU size will be
repackaged into smaller packets to meet the MTU requirement. To change the MTU size:
1. Under MTU Size, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.
2. Click Apply to save the new configuration.
