GT.ru, Extended Range WiFi, & MTU
-
So I recently moved out to my trailer in the back yard so that I can have a private space of my own and have a real bed instead of a living room couch, and I must say, I´m a little confused. Let me start by saying that I have a super custom setup. I have two DSL lines on two DSL modems, which get strung together through my server. On a separate network card, I run my wireless router in the house. The issue that I had was that the WiFi would reach to the front of the trailer just fine, but once you got into the trailer, the signal was too weak. so… I took matters into my own hands and strapped a WiFi repeater to the front of the trailer to make sure that I had a strong enough and fast enough signal to use inside the trailer. Now... Here´s where it gets interesting...
I haven´t tried it from the main WiFi, but when I´m in the trailer and I use the default MTU setting of 1500, I can establish a connection to GT.ru, but then it times out in the ¨Establishing Secure Connection¨ stage, regardless of the browser that I use. I also seem to have a great deal of difficulty with HTTP 502 errors with the default MTU. If however I change my MTU down to 1400, I can connect to everything no problem and I´m all set to go full speed ahead.
Can anyone shed some light oh why this might be? Has anyone else had this problem, or is it something specific to my customized WiFi network?
