MTU settings

[Guest gusco]

Forgive me if I am asking a repeated question that's been asked before -I've searched and can't find an answer.

Where is the setting to change tyhe MTU to match the setting in my router.

Is there even a setting on the vega to do so?

Don't think I've ever seen one for MTU setting so I expect it matches it automatically :)

Don't think I've ever seen one for MTU setting so I expect it matches it automatically :rolleyes:

Not even Windows 7 can do that :) so I don't think Android will do it.

I've googled it and I see people appear to be setting MTU on mobile phones, so there must be some way to do it.

If there was a way it would make web pages load quicker.

Anyone else got any thoughts on MTU settings

[EDIT] Now I've actually tested it....

Open a terminal emulator and try these commands:

su

ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1412 (or whatever value you want)

Don't know how to test if it's working though. Should be able to do it with ping. I know how on Windows but not on Android.

If it does work, we should be able to figure out how to make it permanent, possibly by editing wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wifi

Do you know how to find correct MTU? Ping with a packet size then reduce until you don't get fragmented packet errors. Find the exact number where it flips from fragmented to not fragmented then add 1 plus another 28 for the packet header so add 29 in total.
