Re: netgear
MTU
Go into the setup of the device and it should tell you...at a guess it'll be 1500.

Re: netgear
Yes with an ADSL connection it helps to set it at 1492.

Indeed - but Orange need it lower I believe - I set one up a couple of weeks go and I think I set it to something lower than that.

Yes, on the box they all tell you that it will be up and running in fifteen minutes, (plug & play) but forget to add that it takes nearly a week to get it working properly.
When I first set up my Netgear router, I later found that the root of the problems were caused by too higher encryption settings, I had to adjust it down to 128 to 64 bit and after that it worked perfectly.
After that turned off the SSID so it is hidden.
