Jumbo Packets on Synology NAS 9000 and my Workstation 9014, what can I do

So my NIC is TP-Link TX401 and in it's driver settings I can update Jumbo Packets (currently disabled), I was recommended to set this value to 9000, but the only option close to that number is 9014.
And on my Synology nas I can only set this value to 9000 which I did. After that Synology NAS did restart network and I was not able to reach it from my workstation at all. Once I turned off Jumbo Packet on my PC I was able to see it again.

I was recommended to turn on Jumbo Packet and set it to 9000 on both devices to get higher speed between both of them. I am currently getting 500mb/s when downloading from NAS and only between 150-320MB/s when copying stuff to NAS.

NAS  DS932+ with SSD 2.5 SATA drive and Synology's own 10G NiC card.

Anyone got any adivce with Jumbo Packets and why on Win11 I am offered 9014? And Synologt NAS does not accept 9014 if I enter it by hand.

Is your NAS device populated with all 4 SSDs, or just the one? If more than 1, what is your RAID configuration?

 

While jumbo frames does reduce overhead, you shouldn't need it unless you have eliminated all other bottlenecks (which it appears you may have one or more). For reference, I have a ReadyNAS 214 with 4x 2TB Seagate spinning rust drives, and can easily saturate my 1Gig LAN on writes with default packet sizes.

I solved the issue I had above, now I've run into the problem where my NIC gets hot and instead of delivering 1G/s speed which it does as long as its not hot, now I get speeds of 100Mb/s or lower. Any ideas for cooling for NIC? mini-fans or something else? Anyone else run into this issue?

The NIC in your NAS, or in another device?

What is your case configuration like? A little bit of proper case airflow should cool that just fine. If not, you may want to take this up with TP-link (or your retailer if it's new).

Managed to solve it by placing fan directly under the card, now everything works correctly and card is cold 🙂
