However, there is an important qualifying point to this: When rigorously and repeatedly tested, custom MTU settings do not appear to improve internet speeds or ping so we recommend leaving your MTU settings as default or automatic. There is no “best” MTU value for gaming, as there is no real evidence that changing MTU improves either bandwidth or latency for games consoles. Is there any truth that changing MTU settings can improve gaming? MTU settings can be changed on any device, but games consoles and the PS4 in particular have come in for special attention on this as the PS4’s peer to peer networking structure makes it susceptible to lag for online play.
It is sometimes claimed that changing MTU settings on games consoles can possibly improve internet speeds and reduce lag for online gaming.
