Fine-Tuning Your Network

6-7

•

You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have 
connectivity or performance problems.

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. 

To change the MTU size:

1. In the main menu, under Advanced, select WAN Setup. 

2. In the MTU Size field, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.

3. Click Apply to save the new configuration.

QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The 
WNDR3700 router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet 
connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen. 

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems such as the 

inability to access certain Web sites, frames within Web sites, secure login pages, 
or FTP or POP servers.
