ou use VPN and have severe performance problems.

• Y

ou 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 such as the inability to access certain Web sites, frames

within Web sites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are

willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500

until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and

applications.

Table 2. Common MTU Sizes

MTU Application

1500 The largest Ethernet packet size and the default value. This is the typical setting for

non-PPPoE, non-VPN

connections, and is the default value for NETGEAR routers,

adapters, and switches.

1492 Used in PPPoE environments.

1472 Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.)

1468 Used in some DHCP environments.

1460 Usable by AOL if you do not have large emai

l attachments, for example.

1436 Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.

1400 Maximum size for AOL DSL.

1. Select Advance

d > Setup > WAN Setup.
