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.

Enable the Bridge or Add a VLAN Tag Group Some devices, such as an IPTV, cannot work behind a router's Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall. Based on what your Internet service provider (ISP) requires, to allow the device to connect to the ISP's network directly, you must enable the bridge between the device and the router's Internet port or add new VLAN tag groups to the bridge. Enable the Bridge If your device, such as an IPTV, is connected to the router's Ethernet port or WiFi network, you can enable the bridge so that the packets sent between the device and the router's Internet port are not processed through the router's Network Address Translation (NAT). To enable the bridge: 1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network. 2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router user name and password. Specify Your Internet Settings 42
