Use the Default
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest
packet size (in bytes) that the ZyXEL Device will send to the WAN. If LAN devices
send larger packets, the ZyXEL Device will break them into smaller packets.
Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.
Select this option to use the default MTU. Clear this checkbox to manually enter
an MTU size below.
MTU Enter the MTU size (between 256 and 2296). Typical values are 1500 bytes for
an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. Make sure the
MTU size matches the ISP’s network or Internet connection may fail.

port.
