RAX120 LAN-side MTU setting

Hey all,

I've switched from an Asus RT-AX82U to the Netgear RAX120 (simply for the Multigig port), and finding a few downfalls (the Asus firmware is honestly MUCH nicer, and power-user friendly...0)

 

Anyway, I think I already know the answer, but is there a way to set the LAN MTU? I use jumbo frames (MTU9000) across my entire network, but seems the RAX120 doesn't allow for setting this...

It also doesn't allow you to define per-client DNS servers as part of DHCP Static leases, amongst other things.

For a product released 3years ago, it does seem lacking!

 

Is there any beta firmware, or custom firmware kicking about? Or even firmware source?

 

Thanks!
