I'm requesting a feature for the MN-100

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

The MTU setting is determined by the WAN connection type.

Re: Traffic shaping, it's not likely that this will be implemented (I've
asked about it before and it's not a feature found in most residential level
routers).

Like you would ever see an advanced feature added to a router that has
been dumbed up for stupid people. I only use it because I supported it
& learned to trust both the MN-100 & MN-500. Microsoft took away the
manual firmware upgrade on the MN-700 because it allowed people to
install the firmware update over wireless. This damaged several units
that Microsoft ended up replacing. So since they dumbed up the MN-700
even more I don't think you will ever see that.

If you want the traffic shaping feature you should just go get a
commercial grade router, because you are not going to be able to find a
residential router that does that. The router companies believe that it
is a feature the home users don't need & are to stupid to be able to use
it properly.

Thus the ID10T's take the features away from the smart people.
