The best MTU setting for router equipment is often the default value. In some situations,
changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU of the AP
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
•
You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the
technical support of the ISP recommends changing the MTU setting. These
web-based applications might require an MTU change:
-
A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page
-
Yahoo email
-
MSN portal
•
You use VPN and experience severe performance problems.
•
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons and now you are
experiencing connectivity or performance problems.
Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For
example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites,
secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.
To change the MTU size:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to a WiFi
network or LAN port on the AP.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, dismiss the warning. For more information,
see Dismiss a browser security warning on page 39.
3. Enter the AP local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. In the MTU Size field, enter a value from 616 to 1500.
The default size is 1500 bytes.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
