Hi ccarmock, after a long wait, we are having a Hitron installed on Monday with the 5 IP address option. We intend to use it with our main router on one fixed IP address.

Do you have any tips for the setup of the router, e.g. MTU size and any specific firewall settings.

In the past when we changed to the 50 Mb service we had to reduce the MTU size to match the tunnelingprotocol they use and change the firewall to let some specific packets go out otherwise the connection was dropped.

Any help will be gratefully received!
