Jumbo frames only on Ethernet, normal frames on WIFI

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Let’s say I have a network of 1 router + some APs where all my ethernet-connected devices can do jumbo frames (let’s say mtu=9000).

Can I setup the network so that the ethernet cable-connected devices work with mtu=9000 and the WiFi-connected devices are working as usual with mtu=1500?

I don’t mind if there is fragmentation happening when the packets reach the WiFi transmission.

I am more worried of misconfiguring the setup so that a bridge may have multiple MTUs leading to packet loss.

Is such a setup possible and how can I achieve that? Would it require the use of VLANs?

As a site note. Max mtu with 802.11 is 2304 as far as I know.

You are correct, I just didn’t want to complicate my question.
