Title: support Jumbo frame ?

Anyone know if DNS320 supports Jumbo frame ? So far no mentioned in Dlink website for DNS320 and DNS325.

Neither the 320 or 325 support jumbo frame.

Is this more 'product differentiation' question than technical limitation?

Are 320 and 325 consumer products and thats why w/o jumbo frames?

Thinking it technically, only network driver not supporting bigger MTU might stop using jumbo frames?

The DNS-343 is a consumer product and has jumbo frame support.

Probably discontinued because more of a hassle than benefit. With my 323 never saw any real benefit but could stuff up network by setting too big. From support point of view probably one less hassle if left out without any major downside.

There is no benefit to turning on Jumbo Frames with the hardware that is used. It would most likely give you a worse experience.

Is it due to the network chipset used? Doesn't made sense if hardware support gigabits connection but not Jumbo Frame.
