2-5-2-4 WAN Access Type: PPTP
How to choose a proper MTU size?
Default MTU value (1412) works in most cases, however, it may not be the
best choice in your network environment. If your Internet connection is
stable, you can try a larger MTU value, and this will increase the
performance of network. However, if your Internet connection is unstable,
you can try a smaller MTU value, there will be some impact on network
performance, but this will improve network stability.
