  • @Nuschler22
    @Nuschler22 Рік тому +61

    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.

    • @Pyroteq
      @Pyroteq Рік тому +8

      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.

      *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...!! 😉 )

    I think it might be useful to highlight that this trick is mostly applicable for people who are receiving lower speeds than what they pay for (Which Liron did briefly mention). It is more like this is helping you compensate for a poor connection rather than trying to trick your ISP in some way.

    • @venoltar

      @@wolfhors3_660 I'd set the router to the higher value, and configure the slower PC individually. Though with that said, if it is ethernet, try just swapping out the cable/s between that PC and the modem, as one of them is probably damaged. If you are using wifi and have a bit of luck, it may only require a slight re-positioning/orienting of the wifi antenna(If you have one) to get a stronger signal. Wifi analyser apps are handy for finding wifi dead spots in your house, but generally don't work well on iPhone.

    At first I thought: "Yet another double your internet speed with this simple trick" but this is actually a thing especially if you find one device like a phone or laptop in your house that no matter how close you get to the router the internet speed is always crap. Also, like someone else said as well, I think MTU of 1500 is default but in some cases you actually need to set it a smidge lower. My office router was already set to the right MTU but I think it's because it's the original one installed by the internet company so this is probably a good thing to check if you replace your router with a different one

    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 tried this and found my MTU size was already optimized at 1500. Thanks anyway; it was an interesting little exercise.

    Thanks, it works. FYI U still need to optimize it even if by default It's already 1500, watch the video again and try to find the right number for your system. i tried few times and got it boost up from 75mbps to 99mbps. (im using 100mbps max) My optimized number is 1492 ( 1464 + 28) p/s try to type the correct parameter in cmd i/e: "Wi-Fi" for the video, for me "Wireless Network Connection" . Again, Thanks For the Video.

    For anyone getting the "Element not found" response I had the same issue and decided to input the checking command netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces and instead of mine saying Ethernet it said Ethernet 2 so I tried that and it worked with the full command being netsh int ipv4 set subinterface “Ethernet 2” mtu=1492 store=persistent
