Puzzling MTU settings

Have Orbi RBK353 set up.

 

In Orbi set up, set MTU via WAN setup to 1492 and applied. All seems to be fine.

 

However if I check in CMD prompt : netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

I get MTU as 1500 for Ethernet and WiFi. Not sure why.

 

Also, in Orbi, can I set different MTU values for WiFi and Ethernet?

No. MTU values are not needing any adjustments on the LAN side.

MTU on Orbi is for the WAN side only. Check with your ISP to see what MTU value is needed if it's required by the ISP.

Thank you. So, is there a way to set the WiFi MTU in Orbi (via Command prompt say)?

See page 39 of the user manual: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK352/RBK352_RBK353_UM_EN.pdf 

No command prompt needed.
