WG1608 MTU setting

Has anyone played with the MTU setting on the WG1608?...ATT started requiring an MTU of 1342 for Firstnet (which is band 14)..If the MTU is higher then this the performance is taking a big hit...I have searched and only found some people had that issue with the Mofi 4500, which Mofi actualy has a setting specifically for the MTU.
Thanks for your Reply!

I tried a Mofi4500 with the correct settings on ATT band 14 vs a WG1608 with just the default settings and the Mofi was getting quite a bit more speed..I'm not sure if you can even set the MTU on the WG1608..nothing I tried really made a difference.
Thanks

I noticed the new version of rooter has an MTU feature unlike my old version. Today I read on the whirlpool forum that dairyman added the mtu for an att user. Are you aware of the new feature?
I am curious how you found out about needing to change the mtu?
How much of a speed difference was there?
Unsure if my provider (tmobile) is effected by this but just curious and think it may be useful to know in the future in case anything changes.

No I was not aware of the new feature. Most of the Modem suppliers are now updating the firmware to support the new MTU requirements. ATT has changed their network requirements in the first Qtr of 2022 for Firstnet (Band14) The Mofi unit my friend was running was unstable and dropping until I changed the MTU to 1342. He was only able to get about 20 Mbps with the poor signal he had but about 10 Mbps with the 1500 default MTU setting.
