RP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual

Advanced Configuration of the Router 4-9

v3.0, 2006-03

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 to 1492. 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:

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

The second feature 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.
