Guest kpegduf April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 Last year , I bought TPLINK 108M wireless router, TL-WR642G . I connected it to my cable modem and started browsing through my WiFi and everything was working fine. The speed was also good :) But Last week, I faced a very strange problem. Some websites were working properly (like facebook , demonoid) but some were not (like ebay ,Hotmail , yahoo). When I tried to load these websites, it just kept on loading and loading...Nothing happened after that...There were plenty of other websites as well which were not loading. And It really made me angry and helpless. I called my internet provider helpline but they also have no idea about this issue. The whole day passed by and I just kept on pondering what could be the issue. Then, I connected my laptop directly to modem and all the sites were working great. There was no browsing issue at all. I again connected modem to wireless router and started browsing via WiFi and same problem came back . Hotmail site again was not loading. :( . So I figured it out that my wireless router is not working and I might have to buy a new one. Then, the next day ,one of my friend suggested me to start decreasing MTU size by 10 bytes, and check whether it works or not . By default it is 1500 bytes. You can find it in your wireless router settings · First type 192.168.1.1 · It will ask you for login & password. By default it is “admin “ · Then Go to Settings --> Network --> WAN ---> MTU So , I decresed it by 10 to 1490 bytes and Hurrrayyy :D it worked. Finally , I was again enjoying my wireless router and phewww, luckily, I didn’t bought a new one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not successful make it 1480 and check again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kpegduf April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 Software Version: ZXDSL 531BIIV1.0.1a_D39_IN its of zte so you are using DSL connection...hmmm.....tell me if your DHCP is enabled in wireless router settings or not ? also what's ur WAN connection type ? Static IP or Dynamic IP Moreover have you been given specific primary/secondary DNS servers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest invitelover April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 dhcp enabled having dynamic ip yes Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server is automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kpegduf April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 ok... Try this... Go to your wireless settings. Disable DHCP. The Ethernet cable, which is coming out of your modem ,should be going into WAN port of wireless router. Now, instead of WAN port, plug it into Ethernet port of wireless router. Tell me if it helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
