Netgear support have suggested reducing my MTU from 1500 to 1300 to try and resolve an issue with my router randomly dropping the adsl connection.
Surely reduzing the max packet size will reduce the effective throghput as it will be spending more time splitting up packets. Will this make any real world difference to the max speed of my connection?
Btw, my isp recommend using MTU of 1500, so I'll be massively surprised if this affects the router dopping the adsl connection.
