Fibre MTU Value

Can you please let me know what MTU value is for fibre connection? When I tested show me 1460 pass 1461 need fragmentation..so should be 1460+28=1488..but on ps4 show error  the router in use might not support ip packet fragmentation and some network features of the ps4 might be restricted.For details contact the router manufacter. Used plusnet hub one...if switched to huawei echo life hg-612 mtu tested was 1464 pass..so 1464+28=1492 on ps4 no error if tested connection..also MTU tested twice with tcpoptimizer...any advices ?

Re: Fibre MTU Value

1492 is the correct MTU value that BT Wholesale impose.

Re: Fibre MTU Value

What are the issues you're having? Do you get teh same problems connecting via a cable to your PS4 instead of wireless? Do you have the same issues with any other wireless device?

This is not what the speedtest you quoted on your fault ticket stated, that was showing much closer to the speeds I'd expect.
Is this speedtest from your PS4? If so then console speedtests really aren't the most reliable to check with.
I understand that's the error message you're seeing but what is the problem you are having? I'm assuming it's this part of the message?

.this is MTU problem and game will be laging

As I asked in my previous reply, are you experiencing problems with any other devices or is it just your PS4?
You shouldn't need to manually alter the MTU settings, I'd strongly suggest putting these back to default and letting the router/device negotiate them between each other.
If you can describe the problem you are having, when you leave the MTU as default, we should be able to help more however the talk of so many MTU values and changing it is clouding the problem.

Thank you for letting us know the problem that you're having, what happens when you try to play a game?
Do you experience any problems when using the BT Modem? From a previous post you mentioned that it works fine with that?

Re: Fibre MTU Value

I am trying to help, however it's really not clear exactly what the problem you are having is.
Forget about MTU for a while, what is the issue you are having?
You've given us an error message from your PS4 several times, but you've also said you're having problems on your other devices such as your desktop PC. What problems are you seeing using the internet on your desktop?
Giving us the same error time after time is not explaining the issues you are seeing I'm afraid.
