Speed/Duplex Mode
NETGEAR advises that you keep the setting in an Auto-negotiation mode; however, if you
have a managed switch that works best when the devices are forced to a particular speed or
mode, you can select either the full-duplex or half-duplex setting as needed.

MTU
NETGEAR advises that you leave the default setting; however, in some network
environments, changing the default MTU value can fix throughput problems.

Teaming/Failover
You can use this area to combine two or more Ethernet interfaces into one. This allows your
ReadyNAS to pool the bandwidth provided by multiple Ethernet interfaces for use with one IP
address, potentially improving performance. This feature is called teaming. To use teaming,
your Ethernet cables must be connected to the same network switch and your network switch
must support teaming.

Another benefit of combining two or more Ethernet interfaces is that failover is supported.
With failover, if one Ethernet interface fails, traffic is automatically directed to the other
Ethernet interfaces.
