RN104 and NIC settings

Hello,

I keep trying to change my NIC settings. I try to change the MTU settings (I've heard higher is better?) and it results in the GUI failing. Any ideas?

    Again, as my post pointed out, -s 1472 is the ceiling for standard ethernet. If -s 1473 is too big, then your infrastructure won't carry jumbo frames.

    There can be a speed advantage, but not always. The gain is in the client devices (they process fewer packets per second, which can lower their CPU usage), not in the core network. If if doesn't work, just skip it. I've left them off on my network.
