How to get Faster Internet speed when you change a simple setting

There is a BIG difference between a working internet connection and an optimized fast internet connection that is geared for speed!
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:

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

i like how everyone is complaining about 20mbp internet speed, while my highest possible is 200kbp...

[SKS]

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.

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.

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!

[Nuschler]

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.

Love how you break it down for people who don’t understand what and why.

[gateaccess]

you are the FIRST video out of hundreds, that has mentioned this. thank you!! im praying this will fix my issues. ill be testing soon as home in 4 hours. im praying because ive tried

[theapplecanfly]

Okay I didn't think this would work but it nearly doubled my download and upload speed respectively. thanks for the simple video

[ItsLindaMillerTime]

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!

Any tips for doing this with Mac? I see that -s is the parameter for packet size. However, it seems to allow only for lower range of 2-digit numbers. Thanks.

[ThatRandomGuy]

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!

[robertlinva]

I thought you did a great job of explaining this and showing, very clearly, each step. Great job. In my case, this didn't help, however, since my router MTUs were already set at the maximum. I just wanted to let you know I appreciated the clarity of your instructions. Thanks

[criticalcarson]

Man 2 years later and came in clutch and helped so much i was looking for this video for so long. Keep up the amazing helpful content man

[edwardlee]

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.

[Flame_Insidious]

that moment when everything is already at the correct MTU and you realize how bad your internet actually is...

[bro_adway]

Man, your examples are incredible. So easy to understand. Thank you!

[drewp]

i followed your video and got a huge boost dropping my mtu from 1500 to 1480 thanks, a very noticeable improvement.

[aryankumar]

Great video, it really works.
I was getting around 460 mbps download, 27.9 mbps upload and ping 29 before.
After applying the mtu settings now I am getting 519.2 mbps download 42.7 mbps upload and ping 28.❤❤❤❤

[patrickmcguire]

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.

[philliprickman]

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!
