is a broadband connection (connected to the Internet), “Broadband Connection

tion, “Coax” is displayed.

MTU MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) specifies the largest packet size
permitted for Internet transmission. “Automatic” sets the MTU at 1500. Other

DHCP connection, and “Manual,” which allows the MTU to be set manually.
