Linksys EA4500 and Jumbo frames?

[Jrobertiko]

Hi everyone,
I've been doing a lot of research on this, and I've read many comments about jumbo frames and how it helps to improve file transfer speeds between devices. I currently have a WRT310N router which doesn't support jumbo frames so I've been looking at the new Linksys EA4500 app enabled router and I'm seriously thinking about buying it but I can't find anything that leads me to believe this router supports Jumbo Frames.

Does anyone know if this router will support jumbo frames? My NAS is currently connected to my router and I'm transferring files back n forth with my laptop wirelessly.

Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

I'm wondering the same thing. I havea 610n that doesn't support jumbo frames

Theres almost only a point in using jumbo frames, if you have a Gigabit connection (wired atm, wireless is on the way)..

The max MTU value for wireless is atm. just above 2000 (afaik, 1500 is default)
For wired connection it's 9000..

Edit:
Many routers may support jumbo frames, if you install custum firmware on them (e.g. dd-wrt).

I'm looking at the Linksys EA4500 as well, and I was hoping to use link aggregation finally – is there any way to support it with this router, or any other consumer-level wireless router?

I was also looking at the Buffalo AirStation AC1300.

My setup is two computers wired directly to the router (default Verizon at the moment), and two additional computers connected wirelessly. My Synology 1511+ is on ports 1 and 2 of the router.

Thanks in advance!

I cannot speak to Jumbo Frames but I just purchased the 712+ and was researching the Link Aggregation on my E4200 V2. It is the EA4500 prior to the firmware upgrade that makes it an EA4500. It does not support it just like most home products. To be able to use link aggregation I would need to buy a Gb Switch that supports it.
