MTU

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to

optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The

default setting (1500 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some

user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for

wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet

gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how

adjusting the MTU may affect network traffic for better or worse.
