If the setup has a broadband router like Linksys Befsr41, then within the router setup you can see the "advance" section. There at the bottom, you will see the "mtu" with "enable/disable" buttons. You would check the enable radio button and type in 1492 in the box. Other similar router from SMC (smc7004abr) has no setting for this "mtu" so far. These are the two kinds of low end routers that I have worked so far.
