Everything that you are doing sounds logical and makes sense to me. I'm pretty confident you are not going to hurt anything here. Will it help dramatically? No idea there. But I think it is likely to help without much risk. Seems like a good idea.

Nevermind. #faceplam. forgot to go into configure mode first..

I may or may not have done that more than once.

Just rebooted 2 more times, no luck. It's a ER-X if that makes any difference.

You have to have offload enabled. A number of things disable the offloading of some packets. Including certain QoS.
