Scott,

I think MTU 576 is/was often used for dial-up connections (and frame-relay). If you are using Radius to authenticate users, or something else to profile users (ie PPPoE) make sure there isn't an undesirable MTU setting in there somewhere.

I've used a Cisco 350, but if the IOS is similiar to everything else do "sh run | i 576" to see if it's in the AP.

Actually that is a really good point.  MS's and Cisco's default MTU is
1500, and we had him set his router to MTU size of 1480.  But that
doesn't explain the download size.. (576 default?  on what kind of
device... from what I read of both Sb, MS and Cisco (can't find anything
on Trango, but I bet its default is per IEEE specs at 1500 as well) all
have default MTU's of 1500.  But good point.. solves one side of the
equation (i.e. validates the upload parameters..)
