Dr TCP should help you choose your pc settings. The router should be automatic, but if you really need a number anything under or equal too 1492; the higher the better so 1492.

I use 1480 - it seemed to fix a problem with constant timeouts that I had before, but I can't say I'm 100% sure how it works.
