How to get Faster Internet speed when you change a simple setting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2020
- There is a BIG difference between a working internet connection and an optimized fast internet connection that is geared for speed!
Today I am going to show you a simple setting that anyone can do that took me from 150Mbps to 450Mbs.
Here are the commands you will need:
To calculate the MTU size:
ping thetechieguy.com -f -l 1492
To see the MTU size on your computer:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
To set the MTU size:
netsh int ipv4 set subinterface “Ethernet” mtu=1500 store=persistent
Note:
If you are using WiFi, instead of Ethernet, use whatever the interface say eg "Wi-Fi"
To reset it in case it didn't work or you want to start again just set it back to 1500

thanks for this, I went from 1mbps to 3mbps
Whenever I enter that command in cmd, it gives me an error the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Can anyone help me?
This is amazing I went from 190mbps up to 330 mbps when I changed 1500 to 1457. Thank you!
Interesting - mine was set at 1500, but when I followed instructions and decreased to 1480 (ping at 1452+28), the download speed increased by 23% and upload speed increased 5%. Thanks for another great tutorial!
Love how you break it down for people who don’t understand what and why.
Wow, thank you Liron! I was able to change at my modem when I found out the number to set the MTU for my computer was. A remarkable difference it made and may I say that right now it is a Saturday night with heavy traffic time, 09:30pm. Thanks so much!
Great video, it really works.
I was getting around 460 mbps download, 27.9 mbps upload and ping 29 before.
After applying the mtu settings now I am getting 519.2 mbps download 42.7 mbps upload and ping 28.❤❤❤❤
Bro my internet speed is max 8 mbps that's what we have been told but it never exceeded 2mbps now it's 465 kbps
@@jesserbenyoussef4559this is because there is lots of background progresses
@@jesserbenyoussef4559 real .😔😔
Didn't actually thought it would work but it did, thank you so much for this tutorial !
Man, your examples are incredible. So easy to understand. Thank you!
@@jamieflowers1493 could you reword your question? I dont think I fully understand.
Mine was set at 1500 but when I performed the test, it showed it worked at 1420. When I re-configured as you described, it made a huge improvement in my speeds. Thank you!
Can we do this on macbook?
bro how ? mine was 1500 too and then i changed it to 1419 and it is the same bro...
I did the same thing, no change. Command prompt said "ok" but speeds are still exactly the same, slightly lower
my numbers are the same as yours, but changing slowed me down by 20mbs
Great video. I haven't looked at or tested the MTU for years. Now I know what to do again. Thanks for the tip. I'm a subscriber now.
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Man 2 years later and came in clutch and helped so much i was looking for this video for so long. Keep up the amazing helpful content man
that moment when everything is already at the correct MTU and you realize how bad your internet actually is...
Rip
I have 2mbps internet. I feel like the only one on this planet with that speed 😐
@@DeepThinker193 no mine is 0.51 mbps
@@alizaichannel I somehow got 0.35 mbps but I think this is going to be the only time I get that low
yeah mine is sad, at 1500 i had 7.4 download and 0.92 upload. At 1492 i have download of 11.13 and ups of 1.44. 1492 is my max with following the directions. I dont know if it is my provider or my modem/router is old and needs to be replaced. but wow..........how balls.
Again, another great tutorial here. How you simplify this stuff and yet give it a decent explanation is what sets you apart from a lot of UA-camr's out here doing these.
yeah, my router was luckly already had these settings done
@something I get that but think about who may watch these videos? People who probably do not have much understanding on how these things work. A little expo isnt bad as long the entire video isn't a lesson in expo. I feel like Liron does a great job of that. Talks to us like people but with the understanding most may not get it and requires a little simple talk during the process, but I get it. Some want just the steps and no banter. This channel, it really works. At least that is my opinion of it.
@dog64 context man. his videos are aimed at the average joe. he has to starts things slow with an analogy.
For those that don't know, there is a header of 28 (two separate of 20 and 8) that needs to be added when taking your number into account. That's why he is fine when he hits 1472 as a test. Please look it up so you have an understanding.
I believe that header depends on what internet technology you're using and how you authenticate with your ISP. Eg, PPPoE would use a different header size than PPPoA. Sometimes you can use both and gain performance by switching from PPPoE to PPPoA on your router/modem settings.
Thank you very much, definitely will have it a try tomorrow. As I got problem with the lag issue, hope this can improve the lag issue. Appreciate your sharing.
I thought you did a great job of explaining this and showing, very clearly, each step. Great job. In my case, this didn't help, however, since my router MTUs were already set at the maximum. I just wanted to let you know I appreciated the clarity of your instructions. Thanks
And I appreciate you hanging out here 👍
if u set at computer-level wouldnt it follow the computer setting first?
@@jukkininth4837 yes the computer is setting the size to be sent to the router so the router doesn't change the size unless the router is set lower than the computer. Which would cause the router to limit the data speed.
my speed was relatively unstable before but now i reach well over 100% of the values i reached before. thank you , great tips
Any tips for doing this with Mac? I see that -s is the parameter for packet size. However, it seems to allow only for lower range of 2-digit numbers. Thanks.
Okay I didn't think this would work but it nearly doubled my download and upload speed respectively. thanks for the simple video
VERY NICE. I had a starting MTU of 972, managed to get that to the base of 1500, ( ISP had throttled the speeds in our neighborhood ) so from a start of 972 MTU and download speed of 12 Mbps / upload of 1.12 Mbps to a new 1500 MTU and a new stable download speed of 62.2 Mbps upload / Upload of 17.7 Mbps :)
Thank you for this tip. My upload speed more than doubled from 3.9 MBS to 8.3 MBS and that's on a heavily loaded network. I greatly appreciate this tip. Now that I am working from home and dependent on the internet this will help me tremendously.
Awesomeness!
@@LironSegev same mine went from 10.7 to 24.14
Nice!!!
Thank you so much bro , You're a Legend , Before doing those settings i was getting like 50 Mbps and now im getting almost 100 , ty again dude
This was so helpful for me! I have no idea why but EVERYTHING from the max data to the IP adress was the same for me. I realy loved this tutorial!
Thanks for the information, I am a hardware tech and have spoken with so many software “experts” on this issue and told nothing can be done. Well you should my smile! Most appreciated, you made my day!
Mr. Liron, I happen to stumble upon your video and found it very useful in rectifying the core problem I had with my internet. You have made a wonderful and a quint essential video.. I immediately subscribed to your channel .. Thank you very much for this video.. Looking forward to more such useful videos...
Glad it helped and thank you for being here!
On macOS the parameters for the pig command are different (typical!). You'd use ping -D -s where -D sets the don't defragment bit and -s specifies the packet size. These parameters are case sensitive.
I run PfSense and it's simple to setup by going into the WAN settings, and I run my wifi through a switch. Your video is still very useful!

How can i set this on my Wi-Fi without a PC as I only have my Mobile phone and Xbox one and I'm only getting half if I'm lucky what I'm paying for.
Any info, advice etc greatly appreciated
I like how technical ideas are explained using simple examples.
It takes a smart man to simplify complex things and a dumb man to complicate simple things
What a great viceo - my settings are exactly the same as yours - sadly my router was already set correctly so no freebie improvement, but I feel your joy anyway!
WOW this worked like a charm. I have tried everything and this is the ONLY tutorial that worked. Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!
Glad it helped!
This was a great guide! 👍 . Was also quite easy for me to find the setting on my router, since I got a very similar Linksys as well 😌 .
Thanks for the information Liron, helpful as always!
Merry Christmas from Canada! 🇨🇦🎅🏼🎄🇨🇦🎅🏼🎄
Followed this and went from 60 mbps to 61... at least it's an improvement! Thanks for the tutorial :)
this fixes your ping and packet loss a lot too there are other advantages
Thank you TechieGhai for this tip. It worked extremely well 👍
I got about a 5% download speed increase and 10% upload speed increase, not as much as I expected but still very welcome! Thank you :)
This is awesome, thank you. MTU was set at 1500 but was obviously too high. Following your tutorial, I actually needed to drop it to 1460. It's now running about 50% faster -- from 25Mbps to 38Mbps (rural Australia mobile broadband).
@@Liam-iu8ti lol yourself. 25 x 50% = 12.5 so 25 + 12.5 = 37.5 (rounded to 38). It is indeed running 50% faster. BTW I'm an accountant and work with percentages every day.
@@VickiT158 I am happy with your reply. May the force be with you
@@VickiT158
50% is Half so 50% of 25mbps is 12.5 + 25 = 37.5, rounded for simplicity is 38 :)
What is Liam on about ? lol,... I'm a Butcher & get it lol
@@davidyummus6259 Thanks. Yes, I don't think Liam thought it through. As a butcher, I imagine you use percentages on a regular basis for marking up and discounting. 🙂
@@Liam-iu8ti yes, it is.
Thanks for this handy tip although it didn't help improve my speeds. My Huawei B535-333 4G router was already set at the MTU size of 1500 when checking out the settings. Yes I did the test and that is the size for my router.
Even though this tip didn't work for me, I'm actually glad to learn that my router was already set to 'max' straight of the box :)
Hi Liron, when I type in (netsh int ipv4 set subinterface “Ethernet” mtu=1500 store=persistent) appear an error mesage which say that the file sintax file name of the directory or the volume is not correct. PLease advise
so THIS is why your WiFi sucks: ua-cam.com/video/yoV9FhOF-UA/v-deo.html 👀

Thanks it worked my speed went from 150mbps to 150000 kbps !!
Don't give up your day job 🙄
it did not recognise the command ?
Thank you for the information. I have learnt something new but does this work for mobile.
The reason is because on my mobile, I usually get a very slow internet speed but when I am on the laptop, it usually very fast using the same WiFi. What can I do in this regard?!
WOW! Thank you for this! My speed went from 153-156mbps to 172!! That's awesome thank you sir!
Great tutorial but i have a question. Should these tests and then changes be performed on a quiet line ie. without other people playing games/ surfing You tube etc? would imagine that would effect the ping rate or packet size at test. Or does it not matter. Thanks Guys.
He mentions in the video that configuring the router itself will affect all systems connected, so it may not be optimal for each device. He then says later that you can configure from your computer instead.
Thank you so much for this I had no clue what to do. Im gonna subscribe. And again thank you.
Great video, at the 3:30 mark begins the awesome explanation.
thanks
Thanks
i will be honest i didnt think this would work and after i ran my speedtest and saw the same speeds i figured it didnt but when i started a download on steam, oh boy did it work, my downloads went from 6 Mbps average to 52 Mbps, the difference is actually insane, thank you so much man!
Hey Boss, does this relate to fire Cube or other items like that?
i never really comment in youtube videos, i genuinely love this video mine went from 23 mbps to 47 mbps (ik i have a bad net) but it is somewhat better now thank you Liron

Worked for me! I was at about 85 Mbps now at 115. Great video very helpful and straightforward! Keep up the great work!
did u say 85 mbps?

dang thats a huge change mine went from 70 to 75 mbps
This did increase my internet speed, Upload speed 14.6 up to 16.16 and download speed from 156mbps to 202mbps. Thanks man.
For me there is a probpem, i would to get somw help.
When i put the command to change the mtu, it shows me instead of ok that something is not right either the name of the internet or file or value my value is right and when i did the last command i saw the name of my internet is different so i changed those i can only think that the problem is file or becayse i have router and a cable idk
Thanks for the informative video! I was excited to improve my speeds but my DD-WRT router was already set to "1500 AUTO".

Following the tutorial I found out my router takes care of the maximum MTU automatically so no difference for me trying to manually adjust it, but interesting video none the less, thanks!
I remember learning about this way back in the day and it just fell out of my toolbox because I had GB fiber and didn't really need it. I'm living out in the middle of nowhere now and looking for any improvement I can get. Prior to modifying my MTU (was 1500 now 1472) I've gone from consistent ~220s to consistent ~230s. I'll call that a win. Thanks for posting this. It's a great explanation of the problem and easy to follow solution. Nice job!
So do it depend on the system and everything and the internet since mine is already running at 750 mbps
it works this vid is great. my internet 2 times faster than before. tqsm im really gratefull for this its make my games updated so much faster

*subtle
(Sorry, my OCD wouldn't allow me to go on with the rest of MY life knowing that I let you continue on with the rest of yours, knowing that you'd likely be continuing to correctly use a small word which describes such an important social concept without knowing how to correctly spell the word... Although my comment might be misconstrued as one that was meant to be condescending or antagonistic, rest assured that this is merely a text-related phenomena arising from one of the most glaring inherent shortcomings of communicating without the benefit of vocal inflection.
The point of my comment is that when others see a word like "subtle" USED correctly, many may mistakenly assume that the spelling is, likewise, correct as well...
Imagine being the unlucky person who carries this incorrect spelling with them, continuing to flash it here and there when emailing or texting customers, employees or (knock on wood) potential employers, all the while confidently thinking that you're showcasing your mastery of the written word (which can often be even more important than your public speaking ability), only to instead unintentionally leave your intended audience with evidence that you might be under-educated (and therefore under-qualified or unprofessional), and that the only one who can't see this is YOU...
I don't want that for you.... not for ANY of you.... however, as I suppose there are exceptions to every rule, I'm sure the same will inevitably apply here, as well...
PS: I've included the last statement to illustrate an example of what it might look like if I WERE trying to sound condescending or antagonistic..... but only for the sake of contrast, of course...!! 😉 )
PSS: I'm aware that my comment has an unnecessary extra comma or two, and at least one instance of a [borderline] run-on sentence; however, these types of editing mistakes are much more commonplace -- and therefore, more easily overlooked -- than failing so epically to correctly spell a six-letter-word with a $10 price tag.
(Again -- for contrast's sake... 😘)
PSSS: Regrettably, my OCD-inspired rant somehow evolved into a not-so-subtle flex. Fortunately, though, it was only a virtual flex (which, let's be honest; technically, I'm pretty sure that this means that - in reality - it never really happened in the first place... and thus, no regrets)...!!
PSSSS: Did you know that you can literally just keep adding an additional "S" to begin and denote each new postscript, and it's technically still compliant with correct writing practices [of informal letters]...?
Okay, I'm done amusing myself... for now, I mean...
Drop a 👍if you found any of this funny or helpful in some way.
(Doing so won't impact my decision whether to share my thoughts with all of you in the future or not, but at least I'll know that some of you read this -- which is all that matters to me in the current situation... lol)

*Great vid. Does anyone know if there's a router and app combo that will optimize the settings automatically?*
this guys definition of "super simple" is a lot different than mine
My first thought when viewing was that this would be a recipe for disaster.
Well, even for a non-techy like me, pausing the video at each step and doing exactly what i was told, was actually straightforward and very effective.... apart from the fact my PC doesn't like the new mtu parameter.
