Change the MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.

When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets

travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU

setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to

accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some situations,

changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless

one of these situations occurs:

• You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical

support of either the ISP or NETGEAR 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

• America Online’s DSL service

• You use VPN and have severe performance problems.

• You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have

connectivity or performance problems.

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication

problems. For instance, you might not be able to access certain

websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or

POP servers.
