Is a higher MTU better?

A larger MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) brings greater efficiency in transmitting because each packet carries more data; however, a packet too large may be fragmented and results in lower transmitting speed instead. Optimizing the MTU value on the router’s WAN interface can improve performance and avoid issues.

What is MTU used for?

A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest packet or frame size, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet- or frame-based network such as the internet. The internet’s transmission control protocol (TCP) uses the MTU to determine the maximum size of each packet in any transmission.

How do I change my MTU size?

To change the MTU size:

Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your router’s network.
The user name is admin. The default password is password.
Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
In the MTU Size field, enter a value from 64 to 1500.
