DGL-4300 + jumbo frames

[UltraWide]

I had a DI-624 which I replaced with the DGL-4300 because of countless reboots, reboots every 12hrs.

Now the problem is that I cannot access the admin interface on the DGL-4300 if I have jumbo frames enabled on my PC. I can access the internet fine though.

I have the following connection:

PC ---- SMC 8505T ----- DGL-4300 (Cat5e cabling)

With my DI-624 I could access the admin interface with jumbo frames enabled.

I am aware that jumbo frames are not supported on the DGL-4300, but I don't understand why it can't reach the admin interface.

I need jumbo frames because I have a NAS on one of the ports in the SMC and I get 12MB/sec without jumbo frames, but with jumbo I get close to 23MB/sec, so jumbo is a must. I don't want to disable jumbo everytime I have access the user interface.

I appreciate any help.

I don't know what 'jumbo frames' are, but try accessing the router with regular frames and update the firmware. I just got this router myself, and so far is a very nice replacement for my DI-614+

I did have to install a newer driver for my laptop to fix some connectivity issues. Hopefully they are fixed for good.
