Argh. The Linksys definitely has cool options when fitted with the SVEASOFT firmware (I'm using the Satori release), but the "Auto" MTU setting always switched back to Manual for some reason...

And it's definitely impacting my through-put when compared to my USR8011. When I'm running an application or two that make use of some small amount of bandwidth over a few forwarded ports, I can barely use a browser in the background. Usually the domain names won't even validate. This isn't a Windows firewall problem as some people have suggested either. Because this will impact my other machines going through the router as well (not running SP2 for instance).

I'm talking about both wired and wireless connections above. Using DSL with PPPoE. I'd like to get this issue resolved before having my new Cable modem service set up. First step will be updating to the new 5.x sveasoft firmware version. Then I guess I'll start hitting BroadbandReports.com to search for tweaking tips.

Can anyone offer any advice on some router settings I can try? Right now I've got the MTU at 1450. I did some small test at different packed sizes and found that larger frames wouldn't go through.
