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 uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets
must 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 experience 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:
