While testing the correct MTU size of your current network, sometimes you may receive the error message "Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set". In this tutorial let us check the reason and solution for this error message. If the MTU size you have set on the ping test is too high, you will get this message. Let us check this by an example. Here I am testing whether the MTU value 1480 is the proper value for my network. The ping command to perform this test is:

ping www.corenetworkz.com -f -l 1480

  1. Here www.corenetworkz.com is the ping test destination

  2. -l is used to switch the default ping packet size. You can learn more about it by following the link below.
    Use -l to Change Default Ping Packet Size

  3. -f ensures the packets send are not fragmented.

We all know the default size of ping ICMP echo request packet. That is 32 byte. Though the default ping packet size is 32 bytes, we can change it by a simple command while pinging a destination from your computer. By using -l option, you can decide the size of the echo request packets. The valid value of the size of ICMP packets is from 0 to 65500. So the size of the packet should fall in the range.

If you set any value, not in the range of 0-65500, you will get an error with warning bad value for -l, the value range is from 0 to 65500.

If you are facing issues with an MTU value of ICMP packets sent from your computer, changing their size may help you.

Let us check how to change the default packet size of ping echo request.

You need to use the command format provided below.

ping -l (value between 0 to 65500) [Destination Address]


Practical Example
Here let us check how to use this command to change the default size of ICMP echo request packets.

I am going to send packets to a destination address with manually configured value.

Here I use different values, and you can see the result on the screenshot provided below.

Example- ping -l 50 www.corenetworkz.com

Here I have changed the default value of 32 with 50.

Let us check how this command changes the size of echo packets send from your computer.
Change value

The above picture shows ping packets send with different sizes.

So I believe you have learned the procedure to assign any size for the ICMP request packets sent from your computer.

  2. Wait 30 seconds
  3. Reconnect the Power supply
  4. Wait for one minute and ensure the active LED lights on the device are not blinking (Power light, Internet light, etc.. )


How to Power Cycle Entire Computer Network
Let us check how to power cycle a small network. Consider a small home network which has two computers, one modem, and a wireless router. Steps to power cycle this network are:

  1. Unplug Power Cable from Modem
  2. Unplug Power Cable from Router
  3. Now we need to wait one minute before connecting power cable back.
  4. Power on the Router and wait till lights are steady on Router (WAN light will not light as Modem is not on).
  5. Power on Modem and Wait till all modem lights are on and steady.
One of the major benefits of performing power cycle on a local network is the synchronization of all devices in it. Once all devices on a network are synchronized properly, a lot of connection issues will disappear. In simple words, we can fix a lot of Issues like slower Internet connection, WiFi connectivity error, LAN connection problems, etc.. by a proper power cycling.

How to Increase The Speed of Your Internet Connection
One week ago one of my friends called me to fix wireless network issues at his home. He told me that his computer was receiving good network signals but once a while his device was getting disconnected without any reasons. I asked him whether his PC connected to the right network. His answer was yes. He had a D-Link router, and the wireless network name (SSID) was dlink. He was pretty sure his laptop was connected to the right network since the SSID was the same name configured on his D-Link router.

I asked him to switch off the router and check if he could connect to it. He did the same. Still, he was connected. It was another network his computer connected to with the same SSID.

To avoid this type of mistakes, you should change the default Wireless Network Name with a unique name. To change the SSID on D-Link Wireless Router, follow the steps below.
