Reference Manual for the RangeMax 240 Wireless Router WPNT834

Setting the MTU Size

The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436 for PPTP connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.

Any packets sent through the router that are larger than the configured MTU size are repackaged into smaller packets to meet the MTU requirement. To change the MTU size:

1.Under MTU Size, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.

2.Click Apply to save the new configuration.

Using the LAN IP Setup Options

Another category under the Advanced heading is LAN IP Setup. This menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on LAN IP Setup to view the LAN IP Setup menu, shown below.
