Hi folks,

My modem is UTStar 300R (Black). How can I set MTU in bridge mode? MTU=1490 works for me well on Router mode. In Router mode I used to set MTU in WAN->ppp-> Add (here I used to specify MTU, along with uid/pwd). But this steps aren't required in bridge mode.

Also, for the last few years my modem was always configured in router mode (as per this doc). But this days router mode don't work at all. Only Bridge mode works...really weird.

Thanks.

Presuming the page will be similar for UT300R
I think , what you say you could change was MRU and not MTU.
The above page shows settings for Router "AlwaysOn " PPPoE/PPPoA mode.

for guidance:

For setting MTU you are referred to DRTCP!
DRTCP: How do I use it, & what are all these settings?

Please Post the DEVICE status page
showing firmware/software version etc. ( for my records only )
 
guys , thanks for respoding...here goes some more details

@essbebe/superprash2003: in my modem there no option to change MRU. In router mode I could set MTU only (in Wan->PPP->Add..)

But these days Router mode don't work at all....weird! (Always get 'Fail toget IP Address' error...Link Up message comes after 20-30min...DSLAM issues i guess)

Anyway, I'm back in Bridge mode and I found that the built in PPPoE client for Vista uses an MTU that is set to 1480. My NIC MTU was set to 1490. So, I had to further change it using following command set. Please Note: Dr.TCP won't work in Vista.

ping Google -f -l 1442
netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface \"9\" mtu=1470 store=persistent

20 bytes are reserved for the IP header and 8 bytes must be allocated for the ICMP Echo Request header...so

1442+28=1470 is the optimum, so far.

Modem details: UTStarcom 300R (Black)
Model: Viking
H/W Version: 810020
S/W Version: VIK-2.1.040131c DSL Version: Y1.16.3

Have you enabled DHCP ?
In Laptop TCP/IP Obtain IP address automatically.
IN DNS try open dns 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
see earlier post about DRTCP. Post 78.
