Model: TL-MR6400  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.6.0.0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 181022Rel. 40644n

Router is used in 3G/4G mode.

My internet provider is using MTU size 1392; The default size of WLAN interface of the router is 1500 and this makes me troubles with VPN and remote desktop of Windows.

 

How to  change the MTU setting?

 

I've already tried suggestion from https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/85446 (set MTU for standard router and go back to #G/4G mode), but it didn't work - this firmware uses separate MTU settings for all connection times, I've changed all of them with no solution of my problem.

 

Now I am putting SIM card to my old Android mobile and using this device as a router - works perfectly with VPN and remote desktop. But this is not the final solution, I want to use MR6400.

 

Please help me!

Hi, welcome to the community.

May I know your mobile service provider?

Currently, TL-MR6400_V3 doesn't support customizing the MTU size.

Could you please help me check whether you have TL-MR6400(EU)_V3 or TL-MR6400(APAC)_V3

There is a beta firmware that allows the 4G router to automatically sync the MTU size from the mobile provider.

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP 

Service provider: Italian postemobile (virtual using vodafone infrastructure)

Router version:  TL-MR6400(EU)_V3

Beta firmware: how to get it?

 

Strange thing, a few days ago the VPN connection and remote desktop started to work good. Hopefully they've repaired something, MTU is still 1392.

 

best,

eMKi
