jumbo frame size in aimesh mode?

[Gregh]

I have a Gt ac5300 router as my main and 2 rt-ac86u connected my wired Ethernet. I am thinking if I turn on jumbo frames that the throughput from the ac86u's to the main router and vice versa will be improved? thoughts?

Having Jumbo frames enabled on just the routers/APs (even if that's possible) won't make anything faster. Your clients and any other intermediate equipment would also have to use Jumbo frames. Even then, as has been discussed previously in these forums, the consensus is that there's no real-world benefit in using Jumbo frames in a typical home setup. It could even make things worse as Jumbo frames from a client might end up having to be fragmented when they were sent to the internet.

ok well I knew that jumbo frames only pertain to ethrnet wired connections and i only have a few wired connections (nas, printer and 2 cameras) so it was a thought that the speed coming through the access points back to the main router would be improved if they could push more traffic thorough the wired connections.
