| Setting | Recommended Value | Why? | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex | Forces max speed. Avoid "Auto Negotiation" if you have router issues. | | Jumbo Packet | Disabled (unless you have a managed switch configured for Jumbo Frames). | Enabling incorrectly causes fragmentation and packet loss. | | Green Ethernet | Disabled | Prevents the controller from sleeping during low activity, which can cause lag spikes in games or VoIP. | | Energy Efficient Ethernet | Disabled | Same as above. Prioritizes performance over power saving. | | Receive Side Scaling (RSS) | Enabled | Distributes network load across multiple CPU cores. Crucial for high-speed downloads. | | TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4/IPv6) | Enabled | Offloads packet validation to the NIC hardware, reducing CPU usage. | | VLAN ID | Leave blank (unless you use VLANs). | | We tested v2
