Section 6 - Troubleshooting

You should start at 147 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by  until you get a fragmented

packet. Take that value and add 8 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 145 was the

proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (145+8=1480).

Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size.

To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:

• Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (19.168.0.1) and click

OK.

• Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web configuration page for the

device.

• Click on Setup and then click Manual.Configure.

• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU field and click Save.Settings to save your settings.

• Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments of

ten.
