Hi
ugh!
after all that, my Asus router wont let me change the MTU to anything over 1492 using the GUI
What now ? is there a telnet command i can use to force it and each time the router is rebooted ?
thanks
You will see absolutely no difference setting MTU to 1500. In many cases servers we connect to are set to use 1492 (or less) anyway due to the sheer amount of PPPoE Internet connections in use around the world.
pfSense though does work and for me was easy, it took 5 seconds, the time it took to type 1508 and press Save. However that still needs support of the network interface pfSense is using and the port on the modem you are using.
Honestly though, it isn't worth the time and expense of new equipment just to get 1500, it's fools gold :-)
