Good router/switch with jumbo frame support?
Hello everyone, recent owner of a ReadyNAS NV+ and since looking at my home network it needs some sprucing up to be able to deal with the jumbo frames and 1000 base LAN connections. I was wondering...
The only gigabit wireless N router that supports jumbo frames that I'm aware of is the D-Link DGL-4500 in my signature (as well as the DIR-855). The specs do not explicitly state the JF support, but according to an online review here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30250/96/ (page 2) it states that it is. I can confirm it works on mine. I am very pleased with the performance and functionality of the DGL-4500.
Having said that, I also have a Netgear GS108T 8 port managed switch. If you were to purchase this in addition to the wireless router, you could isolate your gigE clients from your legacy 10/100 clients at the switch. Then, you could pick up any gigE/wireless N wifi router that suits your needs and then connect the GS108T to the router.
The GS108T is available for $80.00 & up in the US. Add a WNR854T from Walmart for $115.00 and you're around $200.00 (much less than the $250-300 for the DIR-855 and in the same range as the DGL-4500 ($150-200).
