Getting The Best out of my Asus AC55U LTE Router

[15Degrees]

Hiya Guys

So I live in the countryside in the UK so Broadband is an issue BUT we have a nice 4G 3 mast just on the hill. Anyway I have been wanting to try and get the best out of the Asus AC55U I bought as occasionally it drops 4G signal and only picks it back up again if I reboot it. Thankfully this is not an hourly occurrence, more like 2 or 3 times per week.

So I was looking for any tips and also for some help on the advanced settings for my Intel WiFi card too please. Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
If im on the Realtek lan card that also drops occasionally but I think that might the Devolos im using for wired connection to be honest because that coems back if I pop out the lan and pop it back in.

My Laptop is an Asus GX700VO

I disabled IPV6 in the router as i'm not sure if 3 mobile (The data sim provider) are using it or not and also don't know the settings for it.


This is what I get for MTU by the way..

The largest possible non-fragmented packet is 1472 (1500 - 28 ICMP & IP headers).
You can set your MTU to 1500


On Oakla speed test I average out at

37 ping
16 meg download
10 meg upload

Using a London server

Anyway any help on optimum settings for an LTE router and also what MTU I should set will be very much appreciated please.

Cheers

Judging by the viewed ro replied ratio of zero Im assuming no one has one of these LTE routers ROFL....

Welcome to SG.. I don't have one of those, however here is my take:

You can set your MTU to 1500, as per the ping test. As for the network adapter settings, check these two articles:
