MTU setting in GT-AC5300

[Gregh]

I want to change the MTU setting in this router but I can't find the setting (if there even is a setting). I have looked through the menus but can't seem to find the setting. Can this be changed?
Thanks, Greg

It would normally be under WAN - Internet Connection > Special Requirement from ISP, unless you're using PPPoE when it's under Account Settings.

Once you change it on the WAN and apply/save, reboot the router, I've noticed that the LAN/wireless interfaces don't always update without a reboot. You want the LAN to match so your hosts can detect the correct MTU.

Thanks. I did check but there is no MTU setting there. I am not using PPPoE

What WAN Connection Type are you using?

Why do you want to change the MTU?

connection type for WAN is "automatic IP". I want to change the MTU for my local network to increase performance or do some testing etc.

If it doesn't show up where I said I can only assume it's not available because of some hardware limitation.

If you want to change the MTU of your LAN devices then you don't do it on the router, you do it on the clients. You should also change LAN - Switch Control > Jumbo Frame to Enable.
