Re: dgnd3700 mtu

I have raised a similar issue with Netgear over this.

I am with Sky in the UK and their default MTU for PPPoA and MER is 1500.

The highest I can set for a PPPoA connection is 1458. 1492 is normally the default figure for PPPoE connections.

Ask if this information has been passed across to Tech support. Provide them with the details of your ISP and where the information comes from.

Should you experience any connection issues, keep chasing them.

Which country are you in please? Tiscali don't exist any more in the UK they were bought out by TalkTalk. TalkTalk use the settings on the page linked below and the MTU isn't mentioned, so the default should be used I guess.

It is locked down by the firmware. It is possible to set the MTU value lower, but the maximums are as described above.

Multiplexing methods should be set according to what is required by your ISP. Setting this wrongly will affect you connection.

It might be better to reduce the MTU to 1400 if you are experiencing issues with your PS/3.

Re: dgnd3700 mtu

Technical support tells me that the netgear router with PPPoA DGND 3770 does not go beyond 1458 mtu. I have problems opening web pages yahoo, ebay, nvidia, and others.
my dgn2000 work fine with all value of mtu,the best for my isp is 1492 but i cannot set this with dgnd3700.
please help me?

Re: dgnd3700 mtu

Sadly the DGND3700 has been limited to use 1458 as the maximum value for PPPoA. All you can do is to use the default value or try reducing it to see what works best.

Tech support will suggest values such as 1400.

Re: dgnd3700 mtu

Those DNS Servers are Google's Public DNS Servers. There are others available if you search the Internet. I would not have thought that the DNS servers would have affected your specific issue, but I could be wrong.

As for the MTU values, in my previous post I suggested that you should try different values. I would be concerned about the loss from your Ping. This indicates that something is wrong.
