When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a smaller MTU value than the other devices, the data packets have to be
"fragmented" to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU value. The best MTU value for Tenda routers is often just the factory default value. In some situations, changing the MTU value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:
A. You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the 26 High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router technical support of either your ISP or Tenda suggests changing the MTU value. Below web-based applications might require an MTU change:
A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page Yahoo email MSN portal B. You use VPN and encounter serious performance problem s. C. You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems. I f yo u su sp ect an M TU p r ob l em, t r y ch an gi n g t h e M TU to 1 400 .
