I was told to change the MTU setting of the Actiontec, so it will work with my Xbox. How do I change the MTU?
There are several problems with this. 1. The MTU setting is not the cause. The default MTU setting for Actiontec routers and gateways is 1492 for PPPoE and PPPoA connections, and 1500 for DHCP as well as Static connections. Many of the older Actiontec routers and gateways do not allow the MTU setting to be changed. However, some of the newer firmware versions do allow this. If the firmware does allow the MTU setting to be changed, the option will be on the WAN IP Address page of the Advanced Setup in the device User Interface. Typically it is a text box near the bottom of the page. Simply enter the setting you want and click Apply to save the change. 2. The actual problem is that the ports used by the Xbox are not open for incoming traffic. There are two ways this can be changed. A. Enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). Many of our routers and gateways are delivered with UPnP disabled for security reasons. But UPnP can easily be enabled. To enable it, browse to the UPnP page in the Ad
