SendNukes Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Nvm. The mac clone setting was blocking the save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableGames22 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 so how did you get that to work because i could not change it either for some time ago and just gave up trying to do so.."MTU settings changes" if you can try putting your mtu to 10 and see if you can connect to online?

It was because mac cloning was auto enabling. I had to disable Mac cloning, then it let me save mtu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2020 By the way, if you're going to change MTU then you need to test it to make sure you select a value that doesn't result in fragmentation. Also if you're changing it to try and improve game performance then that won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to lower this for testing purposes only but it does not work or i'm doing something wrong.. I Removed my R2 hooked up an old Dlink DL4500 and was able to change my mtu to any value i wanted. Not the case with the R2 and i know this will hamper my gaming experience. This will also give more latency, packet loss, retransmitted fragmented packets and a working MTU settings, none the less.

What happened when you tried to change this to 2? I was able to do this just now but I am on the firmware you will potentially get next week.

I tried to fragment packets but it did not work. works great on My old router but i'm currently using the R2 and can't try the R1 because i sold that off.

Perhaps because it isn't possible to have a value that low for MTU, try a higher number and see if it applies properly. Also I'm not sure what your exact setup but if the upstream router is set to use 1500 for example then that would be what is being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGames22 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 My speeds are fine and that is what i pay for. even after trying to reduce the MTU size lower, my speed are not effected why?? I will upload the xbox speed statistics screen shortly. No fragmentation and no packet loss even after applying a smaller mtu size. again my old router will show packet loss and lower speeds indicating reduction of mtu workING and it gives fragmented packets and reduction in speeds along with packet loss but not with the R2?? I don't care i should not lower or try to raise these values from 1500 i'm telling anyone that reads this it's not working the mtu does not change on xbox live despite me lowering it lol.

I'm getting good ratings but I'd commit adultery to get those ping ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your isp service is great you will get a good score. no router in the world can fix a bad (ISP) interent service provider.. You can see my overall speeds up and down then i reduced them, just look close at the screen shots. 300UP/DOWN. RUDUCED TO 50/50 TO XBOX, THEN AGAIN TO 4UP/4DOWN.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 22, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 22, 2020 Do you have a modem or a router that the R2 is connected to? If it provides WiFi then have a look on it and see what the MTU value is, you will need to change it there also for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you asking me if i have another router infront of the R2 then the answer is no. Only ONT and R2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SendNukes Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 That woujd be great. Because from what I understand, reducing MTU can help alleviate packet loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those placebo type settings that won't actually make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try different Congestion Control percentages while using Always to get your Ping Under Load ping down as much as possible in Connection Benchmark so set a percentage then test etc until you find what lowers it the most.
