Ethernet card settings

I live in a remote area with no cable internet so I am using the Nighthawk LAX20 4G LTE WIFI accessing Verizon Wireless for internet. There will only be one computer accessing the router. I have what might seem like a silly question about the Ethernet settings on my PC. Flow control, Speed&Duplex, TCP/UPD offload, etc. Any advice on the proper use of these settings to maximize performance? Also, there don't appear to be any Ethernet settings control available on the Nighthawk LAX20 unless I'm missing something. I'm obviously trying to squeeze the highest internet speeds that I can while considering variables beyond my control. If anyone has any advice/suggestions, I would be most grateful. Thanks.

    I'd leave them in the default settings. Those tend to be optimal for most configurations and I'd doubt that verizon can provide enough bandwidth to saturate a gigabit connection and need optimizing.
