send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you

should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are

1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the

router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's

MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme

cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network

performance can suffer.

 MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the rounter's WAN-side

Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC

address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on Clone Your PCs MAC

Address.
