Setting The Mtu Size; Using The Lan Ip Setup Options - NETGEAR RP614 - Web Safe Router Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the Model RP614 v2 Web Safe Router

Setting the MTU Size

The default MTU size is usually fine. The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most
Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs, particularly some using PPPoE, you may need to
reduce the MTU. This should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary by your ISP.
Any packets sent through the router that are larger than the configured MTU size will be
repackaged into smaller packets to meet the MTU requirement. To change the MTU size:
Under MTU Size, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.
