I thought Fios was 1500 MTU but I guess not for watching streaming media for the long duration. I know that when I set my MTU to default (1500 greyed out) in the Shibby enabled RT-n12 b1 router I get my live TV streaming interrupted routinely. When I set to manual and something lower than 1500 well I only tried 1425 1420 the streams just keep playing on my 3 devices.

tschmidt Premium,MVM join:2000-11-12 Milford, NH kudos:8 Reviews: ·G4 Communications ·Fairpoint Commun.. ·Hollis Hosting	reply to Bink said by Bink: the optimal MTU for Verizon FiOS is 1492. That means they are using PPPoE encapsulation which adds 8 bytes to each packet reducing the MTU to 1492. /tom
