LAN Setup,  To change the MTU size | NETGEAR WNR200v4 specs

N300 Wireless Router WNR2000v4

If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500 until the problem goes away.

The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications.

Table 3. Common MTU sizes

MTU	Application

1500	The largest Ethernet packet size and the default value. This is the typical setting for
	non-PPPoE, non-VPN connections, and is the default value for NETGEAR routers,
	adapters, and switches.

1492	Used in PPPoE environments.

1472	Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.)

1468	Used in some DHCP environments.

1460	Usable by AOL if you do not have large email attachments, for example.

1436	Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.

1400	Maximum size for AOL DSL.

576	Typical value to connect to dial-up ISPs.

To change the MTU size:

1.Select Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup. The WAN Setup screen displays.

2.In the MTU Size field, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.

3.Click the Apply button.

LAN Setup

The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to function as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:

•LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1

•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0

These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes on the LAN Setup screen.
