recommended to use the default MTU value. In case any of the

following circumstances occurs, you may modify the MTU value.



You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service,

and either your ISP or our technical support suggests changing the

MTU value.



You use a VPN and encounter serious performance problems.



You used a program to optimize MTU performance, and you have

connectivity or performance problems.



If you suspect an MTU problem, try changing the MTU to 1400. If this does

not help, gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value 1500

until the issue disappears.

The common MTU sizes and applications are listed in the table below.
