I have both a Beryl and Slate AX. Both of them will only ping at an mtu size of 68 max. How do I alter the settings for MTU size and troubleshoot this issue? Could it be the main router? Trying to figure out.
Also, what is this? Menu_hwnat I see it as an option under Network in the admin panel.
This is what ChatGPT had to say. Is it correct or did my router get hacked?
Me: You are a technical support wizard and I need help with my gl inet router. opened up Luci for my glinet router and it says network ifname configuration migration. The existing network configuration needs to be changed for LuCi to function properly. Upon pressing continue ifname options will get renamed and the network will be restarted to apply the updated configuration
ChatGPT:
It sounds like you are trying to access the web interface (LuCI) for your GL.iNet router and are encountering a message about network ifname configuration migration. This message is indicating that the current network configuration needs to be updated in order for LuCI to work properly.
When you press “continue,” the ifname options in your router’s configuration will be renamed and the network will be restarted to apply the updated configuration. This process is a normal part of updating the router’s firmware and should not cause any problems with your network.
However, it’s important to make sure that you have a backup of your current configuration, in case you need to restore it later. And it’s also recommended to have a wired connection to the router during this process and to have a device that can connect to the router via a wired connection in case of any unexpected problems.
If you’re still facing issues or have any doubts, it’s best to consult the GL.iNet router documentation or reach out to GL.iNet support team for further assistance.
If i dont use VPN, i set the MTU to match the ISP Router and seems the connection is blazing fast now. Thanks you very much @alzhao ! For my router, it is 1492.
When using VPN, it seems the MTU is lower like 1472 in my case. Do I need to adjust the MTU setting in the ISP router to match the MTU with VPN?
Much appreciated! FYI, i only use AR150 router now. And the speed is much better using Wireguard protocol. It is midnight here though, I will report if the connection is really stabilizing.
The last time I checked it does not make it past 3-4 Mbps. Now for the first time it is 20.1Mbps upload speed!
update: i set the MTU right from my device (e.g Playstation4). The GLInet is only used for VPN.
