How to Change the MTU Settings on a D-Link Router DIR-655

Physically link your D-Link DIR-655 wireless router to your computer with an Ethernet cable and configure it using a page you access through Web browser. Some specific situations may require you to change your router's MTU value. While most providers use the standard 1500 value, others may use a slightly smaller size. Locate and change the MTU setting in the DIR-655 configuration software.

Instructions

1. Connect to your router's configuration page by typing "192.168.0.1" in your browser's address bar and pressing "Enter."

2. Log in to the configuration page by typing in your password and clicking "Log In." If you have never created a password, leave the password field empty.

3. Click the "Setup" tab at the top, and then click the "Manual Internet Connection Setup" button at the bottom. This action displays a new set of options on the screen.

4. Find the "MTU" field in the bottom section. Erase the present value, and then type the desired size.

5. Click the "Save Settings" button at the top. The router resets and applies the change.

Tips & Warnings

• Create a password for your home wireless network and set the network as "hidden" for security.
