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 any device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or fragmented to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value, and changing the value might fix one problem but cause another.
WARNING:
An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems such as the inability to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.
Leave MTU unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
•You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting. These
-A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page
-Yahoo email
-MSN portal
-America Online’s DSL service
•You use VPN and have severe performance problems.
•You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems.
