Does it do jumbo frames?

[Goldberg]

I have the Tenda ones, been using them for a while around the house and never had an issue

As for Jumbo Packets, not sure. It works with what I need it to

Does it do jumbo frames?

Stupid question guys as I've never used one of these but would I be able to plug my
o2 wireless box into this and then have it feed downstairs to another and onto two devices ie a satellite box and home media centre and will it give the full speed ie 1gb. I've already got a switch downstairs but it's only 10/100

Route as follows...

O2 wireless box - switch - out to main pc upstairs
switch - out to another switch located downstairs - sat box & pc

Cheers

that's not too bad for the price I guess - some of the £30 netgear ones don't do it at all...

Would depend on all network devices being gigabit capable mate, not just the router/switch.

The two pc's are both capable but don't know about the sat box?
