This is my Internet settings inside : http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Netgear/WGR614v9/default.htm

And i was wondering what's best to keep on.
I Just want speed and Gaming Performance. Also to like Live Stream and not be slow. My Internet is way faster at night when no one is using it.

MTU Size (in bytes) - 1492 - Keep or no?
DISABLE SIP ALG - Keep on or no?
DISABLE SPI FIREWALL - Keep or No?
TURN UPNP ON? - Keep or No?
ENABLE WMM? - KEEP OR No?
Enable Wireless Router Radio - Keep or no?
Enable SSID Broadcast - Keep or No?

I Am no expert and followed youtube videos and messed up my internet before and i just dont want to do that again, as these settings i believe won't hurt if you flick a switch as you can change it back and it's not numbers.

Here is my Speed test results on normal basis - http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5469624827

the highest it has gone was 7mb DL, and about 6 UL. (at 2am lol)
 
Solution
None of those will really have much impact on your speed, you need to read what they mean and decide if you need the feature. The vast majority of stuff can be ignored.

Be sure you are testing on a wired connection. Wireless can be affected by neighbors using their router interfering with your router.
