[ale] wgr614V6 router https issue resolved?

[Paul Cartwright]

ok, I screwed around and screwed around and THOUGHT it was working, then it 
stopped again. So I did another google search and found this:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/printthread73860.html

basically I could not connect to my.yahoo.com, my bank, or any https site that 
required logging in or sending data back.
I did as the web site poster suggested, changed my MTU from the original 1500, 
to 1400, and... IT WORKED.
can someone explain WHY???
