Hi,
The questions relates to the WRT610N a wireles router, thus I ask it here.
It's possible to set the MTU size in the router setup configuration. However, all around the web there are people and tools that set the MTU size in the TCP/IP stack of Windows (or other OSes).
My questions:
1/ Should I set the MTU on router, on Windows or in both ?
2/ If I set the MTU in the router then if the MTU in Windows is higher, the router would fragment packets so they have no more than the MTU size set in the router. So what is the point to set it in the router ? (seems setting in the Windows would be enough because no packets originated from the host would be bigger, thus the router has nothing to do in this regard)
thanks
