This is where it is important to test any settings changes thoroughly and repeatedly and not just once, as they can often produce a one time fluke result the first time you re-test them. You may see a sudden spike in internet speeds when you re-test your connection the first time after manually configuring your MTU, but you speeds will drop back to normal in all further tests. Why this happens we are not sure but it is important not to take one fluke test result as proof that a certain settings change works.

This is why we consistently use the videos of John Glasscock in our articles as his networking knowledge means he repeatedly and thoroughly tests these settings to change to make sure they actually work on a consistent basis.

There are some fluke spikes in internet speeds but when tested repeatedly speeds return to where they were before and there is no change to the overall average. It is however true that networking is extremely complex and every single connection and network is different depending on location, distance, hardware, network structure etc. So we cannot necessarily generalize any conclusion to all situations. Some people may benefit from MTU settings changes; indeed some people swear by it as a method of improving connectivity for gaming.

There are however a lot of people that seem to just test these settings changes one time and take those results as a definitive answer. So far we have not seen anyone test manually set MTU values as thoroughly as Glasscock has and found them to actually make a difference.

So for now we are inclined to support his conclusions that manually lowering MTU settings does not improve download speeds or latency for gaming. First of all we should point out that for gaming it is the latency that is far more important than the bandwidth for online gaming; beyond a bare minimum of a few Mbps, gaming does not tend to consume that much bandwidth.

It is far more how fast data can be transferred rather than how much that will determine how smoothly you can game online, which is more the latency side of things. If you need to connect more than one wired network device, you will need a network switch.

Most people will not need to use this process; only those who need to specify their primary and secondary DNS, or have static IPs assigned to their wireless router should have to use this setup process.

Unless you know for sure, it is highly recommended that you try the "Search for an Access Point" feature first.

Increase the last three digits of the IP address of your computer by one number if it is , for example, change it to and enter this number into the manual settings screen of the Wii console. MTU, or Maximum Transmission Unit, specifies the largest unit of data that can be sent over the network. While this setting is not generally required for the Wii console to communicate with a wireless network, if you are having trouble connecting or maintaining a connection, setting this value to '' may help.

Note: If your network setup requires proxy settings, check with whomever set up your network for your network's proxy information.
