MTU

Hi2All

R1-------------------------------------------------R2

R1 is connected via R2 via Wireless connection, its a pretty old Outdoor Wireless Unit.
How do I check if the default MTU of the Wireless is 1500.

Possible to get MTU information from a PC connection from R1 sending data to a PC2 connection at R2

Best Wishes

Hi,

IMHO, the value can be 1271-1274, you need to try those values to get the  exact number.

If the largest packet passing is let's say 1272, the MTU on the path is 1300 Bytes (don't forget the Windows syntax).

According to the message syntax you are receiving, it could be your PC which has the MTU set to 1300 Bytes.

If the limit were somewhere further, you would usually not receive any message, the ping would simply get no reply.

BR,

Milan
