You might need to reconnect to the access point. Change the MTU size [router mode] If the access point is in router mode, you can change the maximum transmission unit (MTU). The MTU is the largest data packet a network device transmits. 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 uses a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets must be split or "fragmented" to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU. The best MTU setting for router equipment is often the default value. In some situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU of the access point unchanged unless one of these situations occurs: • You experience problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical support of the ISP recommends changing the MTU setting. These 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 • You use VPN and experience severe performance problems. • You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons and now you are experiencing connectivity or performance problems.
