You would put it in both, and on the console as well if you have the option and also would advise the ISP hub too. MTU won't improve anything related to your online gaming experience. It could be the MTU, put it back to auto, does it revert back to Type 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy clam Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Auto usually works best in most cases as Fraser said but people do experiment with their MTU settings,but IMO it has little to do with gaming but might help you get to websites or open pages quicker.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 14, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2016 What do you mean by stops working? Are you referring to the message that appears at the top of the screen? If so don't worry it's been applied. I would leave the MTU as auto really.

That isn't entirely true. First of all, I introduce myself. My name is Frank, I have 46 years, I love FPS like Doom, Quake, cod, BF and playing online since 1990! I am a router R1's owner since start of your adventure . I have never written because I have NEVER had a problem with your router. Little things, I solved them reading forum and wiki It 'just great! Unfortunately I live in Italy so my connection is an ADSL 20mbt / 1mbt (real 16/1) FASTWEB set in fast-path mode. Under the R1 router I connect a PS4 and a XBOXONE, although recently I'm using only the PS4. I decided to enroll and participate in this discussion because the MTU issue on ps4 should be investigated! My experience is as follows: If I leave everything set to AUTO (about R1 lan / wan auto) and PS4 (auto), when I play COD BO3 / AW my ratio deaths/kills is very low. Almost every firefight I lose. On 10 clashes, 2-3 win them. If it sets all of 1492 (about R1 lan / wan 1492) and PS4 (1492), my ratio deaths/kills improves a lot .. Out of 10 fights, 5-6 win them. But the real surprise is when imposed on R1 lan / wan 1492, and on ps4 1480 (MTU DEFAULT of XBOXONE) or 1485 or other numbers that test, my ratio becomes incredibly positive! 10 clashes 7-8 win them! On games of COD series the MTU iussue is very sensitive! Especially on COD AW The magic number does not exist! .. Be sought from time to time. Then also it depends on the game upgrade. 1480 often goes wrong when imposed in 1485 should be better. The server to which I connect are always the same (I use the trick suggested by Ian in another section of this forum), where my ping is better (34 ms) My modem is a nighthawk with MTU set to 1492. In life I am a lawyer, it would be interesting if some engineers could take a look at the MTU issue on ps4. Thanks for everything and best wishes for future professional success to all.
