May well be the case. In my experience most difficulty arises usually in marrying suitable router settings, and many early routers have now had certain firmware updates that have not just been security related.

I have found that some isps don't use 1500 as an MTU setting for example, thus requiring not just the router to be set to say 1432 if specified, but also the pc's MTU setting also.

As you say, the autotuning usually works well, which is the reason that it may be hard to do any better by manual tweak anyway.
