OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
I'm not sure I'd put it quite the same way as walshlink.
But jumbo frames can certainly cause problems - you need to ensure that all your equipment works with them, and that you pick an appropriate and common MTU. When that is taken care of, it is also quite possible that some your equipment will actually run faster with normal ethernet.
If everything is working, and performance is better with Jumbo frames, then it makes sense to leave them on.
But if you are seeing issues, or if the performance in fact isn't better, then the simplest answer is to turn them off.
