Odd issue with WAX 206 and a MTU setting on eth0 device

So I noticed the MTU is displaying as 1504, not 1500, this is a unconfigured device (greyed out). I then set MTU to 1500 manually, didnt touch anything else, and it failed to bring any connectivity back online, everything dropped, wifi etc. I let the 90 second cool down expire, but was no auto recovery. I gave it another minute or so hoping it at least reverted the config and then rebooted it, luckily it came back up fine and the GUI said it had recovered.

Just a warning if anyone else see's the same issue.

Which mtu you changed?

For eth0 on the 'devices' screen.

you shouldn't change it manually

eth0 itself needs mtu+4 as it has children with vlans of size mtu
