How to change the MTU on a D-Link router ?

An appropriate MTU value is important to the proper operation of any network. To change the MTU on a DI series D-Link router, simply follow the steps below:


1. Connect to your router's admin interface. Usually 192.168.0.1. The default username is "admin" (without the quotes) and the default password is blank.

2. Click on the WAN (or ATM) button from the left vertical menu.

3. Find the "MTU" towards the bottom, enter your desired MTU value (usually 1500, or 1492 for PPPoE) in the text field, and click Apply. The router will restart to apply the new settings.


Some newer routers/APs may have different IP address or default username/password combination, you may want to check our hardware database for additional information about your specific model: D-Link routers database

....and don't forget to save this changes - or you'll have to retype the mtu-rate again the next time you connect to the internet.

Try our routers database (or your manual) for your exact model, some have different passwords: http://www.speedguide.net/broadband.php

If no WAN button goto Internet Setup, Edit, Next, Next and then MTU will be there.

You may have to upgrade your firmware, if you find the MTU setting in a different menu it may have changed for newer models (please let us know).

Please use our forums for additional questions you may have.
