Jumbo Frames

playing with my router and found out that I can use jumbo frames up to 9000. is there adventage to set it up on my ex2 all the way to 9000. or should i set it up to something else? 

Any help would be great.

I would recommend testing different parameters in order to ensure the configuration will not exceed the specifications supported by the NIC of your system.

Regards,

Just an update on Jumbo Frames. I’m very impress with EX2 and jumbo settings. I hava a cisco RV180 router that supports jumbo frames. I have Unifi Pro for my wireless AP. I have enable settings on the router and then on the EX2 to  5000 for size of the frames, it was defently improve perormance. So I read some more and found out that router can accept up to 9000 frames. So I did enable 9000 on the EX2. To my supprise I have seen awsome performane while coping files. I have copy about  50GB video file last night over  my wifi in about 18min to 20min. previouslu was about and hour with standard 1500 settings. 

I will try ethernet direct wire connection today and see how that would go. Hope this will help some people.
