Does Airport Extreme (2010) support Jumbo Frames?

I changed my MacBookPro, my iMac27" and my NAS to Jumbo Frames (first try 9000 MTU, then 4074). But there was no faster copy speed. Now I wonder whether my switch "Airport extreme (from 2010)" is able to work with Jumbo Frames. As far as I see, on the Airport extreme there is no possibility to change the MTU.

Yes. The 2010 (actually 2009) Gigabit AirPort Extreme base station incorporates a Broadcom BCM5395 chip that supports Jumbo frames up to 9728 bytes.

  • Does new airport extreme gigabit suppotr jumbo frames?

    Hallo folks,
    does anybody out there know, whether or not, new apple airport extreme support jumbo frames?
    I tried, via wire, "ping -s" but no answer received with packets bigger than 1500.
    Of course, already set up my macbook to allow jumbo frames up to 9000.
    Any hint?
    THANKS!! :))

    Hi xiello,
    Acording to this article, it does not:

  • Why does iMac (Mid 2012) not support Jumbo Frames?

    Why is it not possible to change MTU size to more than 1500? Buying such a high quality product, I would expect that it supports jumbo frames!
    My NAS supports jumbo frames, the Air Port Extreme does but a brand new iMac doesn't???
    Is there any patch or somethin to fix this?
    Thanks!!!

    Hi Marcus,
    I find conflicting info on this...
    The Ethernet port supports the configuration of Ethernet frames larger than 1,500 MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4619
    Can anyone confirm if the new 2011 imacs already support jumbo frames? I heard it now uses a new broadcom ethernet chip that now supports jumbo frames on the 21 inch model. They removed jumbo frames support in the previous i5 and i7 models... 
    Hmm, I remember that the iFix tear down revealed that the 2011 iMacs had a Broadcom BCM57765B0KMLG Eithernet chip. (just go to the page and if you are using safari/firefox press command + F and type "Broadcom" to jump to that particular)
    http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iMac-...eardown/5485/2
    so I did a little googling and found out that:
    http://www.broadcom.com/products/Eth...lient/BCM57765
    Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver with:
    - 10/100/1000BASE-T triple-speed MAC
    - Compliant with IEEE standards
    - Compliant with IEEE 802.3az draft standard for Energy Efficient Ethernet™ (EEE)
    - State-of-the-art physical layer interface that exceeds IEEE requirements
    - Jumbo frame support with up to 9.6 KB frame size
    - EthernetAV protocols with IEEE 802.1AS, 1588-2008, IEEE P802.1Qat and IEEE P802.1Qav support 
    So it should support Jumbo Frames.

    I set it using System Preferences -> Ethernet -> Advanced -> Ethernet -> Configure Manually.
    I've confirmed the setting by checking the output of ifconfig. It shows an mtu value of 9000.

  • Does the WRT310N support jumbo frames?

    Greetings one and all.
    Does anyone know if the WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router support jumbo frames?  I have a Buffalo Linkstation Mini NAS that contains a Gigabit Ethernet card.  The NAS can support jumbo frames provided the switch it's connected to has the capability.
    Thanks

    I did a live sesion with the tech support desk
    The WRT320N does have hardware support for Jumbo Frames.
    Only on the Firmware (Software Side) it's not enabled yet what can easy be done by the Linksys/Cisco development team.

  • Does Airport Extreme support Static Routes?

    I have client using an Airport Extreme as their Router. They currently connect to another device outside their network using AppleTalk.
    It is planned to put this device onto TCP/IP but on a different subnet (e.g. their subnet is 192.168.5.X and the device will be on say 192.168.25.X). Does Airport Extreme support (like other Routers) the ability to set up a static link to a device on a different subnet (can’t find any information in a doco or the utility) or do they need to replace this with a “real“ router?

    Sure, I could do something like route add -net 10.100.10 192.168.0.100 on every client machine on the subnet, but there is no such way to configure a web cam and similiar devices
    Any idea, Apple?

  • Does the wrt350n support jumbo frames?

    Does the wrt350n support jumbo frames? Maybe in an upcoming firmware? thanks in advance

    "Jumbo Frames" is a basic requirement of the Gigabit Ethernet specification. What you are saying is that the WRT350N does not actually function as a gigabit device. Sure enough it connects as one but does not transfer data at its native gigabit speed.
    10Mbit connections can transfer up to around 1.2Mbytes per second.
    100Mbit can transfer at around 12Mbytes per second
    1000Mbit/Gigabit is supposed too transfer at up to 120Mbytes per second but cannot achieve this unless jumbo frames are active.
    I beleive this gives me grounds to get a refund for a mis-sold product.
    So, I guess the question needs to be re-asked.
    Will the firmware ever be updated to support actual Gigabit speeds ?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Which Macs Support Jumbo Frames?

    Is there a list anywhere of which Macs support Jumbo Frames and which don't? I can tell my Mac Pro does, and my MacBook does. But sadly, my G4 does not, even though it has gigabit ethernet. Unfortunately, the G4 is my home server so it's the computer that would benefit me the most by supporting them. Just going from my mac pro to macbook, my transfer speeds jumped from 40MB to 50MB/sec. And that may have been bottlenecked by the MacBook's hard drive.

    Hey l008com,
    Is true

    How the heck do you embed an image in this forum?
    Add a ! between the link like this (I add the " " between it so you could see).

    and with the " " removed ...
    !http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/6452/picture1rox.png!
    Anyway, GET IT NOW? 1504 is the limit, even though it's the built in gigabit ethernet on a dual 800 quicksilver G4.
    But anyhow now that I have more info about your G4, does it have a built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connector and four-port 10/100BASE-T Ethernet PCI card (RJ-45 connectors)? If I'm correct about this then the gigabit port is an Uplink Port for a Hub, a Switch, another Server, Access Point or some other Network Device. I know that's not much help but the more I know about about your existing Network Setup, the less I guess about it. One thing to keep in mind is that your ISP Internet Connection is slower that 10MB/s anyway plus the their MTU's are NOT the same size and I know why.
    But that really doesn't much if your Network Speed is more important than the Internet Speed.

  • Does Airport Extreme work will with AT

    Does Airport Extreme work will with AT&T Microcell for the iPhone 4?

    The AT&T Microcell will plug into one of the Ethernet ports on your AirPort Extreme.
    The AirPort Extreme will work just fine. Whether the Microcell works well is totally up to AT&T.

  • How far does airport extremes range go

    how far does airport extremes range go

    Apple says up to 300 feet or so, but since tests like this are performed in a very large room with no walls, the specification won't mean much to most of us in the real world.
    Bottom line is that it is not possible to make a good guess about distance capabilities in a home without knowing the number of walls and or ceilings the signal must pass through.
    (A typicall wall of sheetrock and 2 by 4s will absorb on average about 15-20% of the signal and a ceiling absorbs more because it is thicker).
    As a very rough guide...if the signal from the wireless router must pass through 4-5 walls, or a ceiling and 2-3 walls, then there won't be much of it left by the time it reaches a computer or other wireless device.

  • Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?

    I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G? Do I have to configure for this?
    Thanks

    I am trying to connect a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet to the Internet via Internet Sharing. The N810 only supports B and G mode WIFI. I can't get a connection. Does Airport Internet Sharing Support WIFI Mode G?
    Yes.
    I've used my 802.11b/g/n capable MacBook to share an ethernet connection with my 802.11g ONLY iPod Touch.
    Does the N810 see the network?
    Does any other WiFi capable device in your home see the Internet Sharing SSID?
    Did you give your Internet Sharing a password? Internet Sharing uses WEP for encryption, and the rules for creating the WEP Hex key from a text string password are different for Macs vs everyother WiFi device in the world. 1st try no password. If that works, then move on to using a simple 5 character password for 40/64 bit WEP, or a 13 simple password for 104/128 bit WEP.

    Yes, you can install Office 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1). For the system requirements for Office 2010, please refer to this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624351(v=office.14).aspx
    Microsoft now no longer offers a download from their site, however, if you already have a product key of Office 2010, you can get Office 2010 installation package from this website:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/microsoft-office-2010-backup-FX101853122.aspx . If you don’t have a product key, I would suggest you to try the new Office – Office 2013, which also can be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    For more information about the new Office, please check on this site:

    Does airport extreme replace my current router?

    Your choice.. in some cases you will bridge the AE and use it as wireless AP and switch.
    In other cases you will bridge your existing router and use the AE in router mode.
    We cannot easily answer without specifics..
    What broadband modem / router do you have? Make and model?
    What are you hoping to achieve with the AE?
