An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For example,
you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure

Your settings are saved.
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.

Optimize Performance
You can set up the router to optimize performance for applications such as Internet gaming, high definition
video streaming, and VoIP communication. By default, the router uses Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service
(WMM QoS).

Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet Traffic Management
Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router’s Internet traffic management capabilities
through better application and device identification, bandwidth allocation, and traffic prioritization techniques.
Dynamic QoS resolves traffic congestion when the Internet bandwidth is limited and different demands
compete for bandwidth.
If your Internet download and upload speed is 250 Mbps or less and you like gaming and streaming video,
then you...
