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

Can THIS really make your WiFi Speed Faster? https://youtu.be/M8OXTyWs_zY 🤔

i like how everyone is complaining about 20mbp internet speed, while my highest possible is 200kbp...
-
I'm surprised and pleased. Unlike most of these videos, this technique actually worked for me. I changed the MTU from 1500 to 1470 and nearly doubled the speed.
-
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!
-
Didn't actually thought it would work but it did, thank you so much for this tutorial !
-
Love how you break it down for people who don’t understand what and why.
-
that moment when everything is already at the correct MTU and you realize how bad your internet actually is...
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!
-
This is amazing I went from 190mbps up to 330 mbps when I changed 1500 to 1457. Thank you!
-
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!
-
Man, your examples are incredible. So easy to understand. Thank you!
-
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 Liron Segev. I found my spot at 1480 and my speed tests at three different websites all went up an average of 5% which isn't huge but fine with me (better than in the other direction) - and fun too! Great video.
-
Okay I didn't think this would work but it nearly doubled my download and upload speed respectively. thanks for the simple video
-
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 :)
-
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.

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.
