the MTU Maximum Transmission Unit the largest physical packet size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent.

MTU stands for maximum transmission unit. It is basically a setting that tells your network what the maximum data it can transmit as one chunk, including the data that the network and transmission protocols append to the actual data packet.
MTU does not affect bandwidth. Imagine having a bandwidth of 100 and a MTU of 10. To transmit 100 of data, you would have to have 10 packets go through the ntework. (This is a little off, but demonstrates the point)
The normal setting for home networks is generally 1500.
