frequent network dropoffs
My ReadyNAS NV+ (v1) keeps dropping off the network. I recently switched from share to user security, but this has been going on for much longer. I'll open a file, start to work on it, then the share ...
I'll wager the router doesn't support them. Every "Gigabit-capable" NETGEAR router i've seen doesn't support jumbo frames, so to maximise performance a switch between NAS and client PC's (which also have jumbo frames enabled) is the best solution.
Other kit on the network that isn't jumbo-frames capable may harm the overall benefit of having jumbo frames enabled though, e.g: wireless devices. If these devices spend most of their time off, then you may want to risk it, if they spend most of their time on, better to take the slight performance hit of running without jumbo frames, but have consistent speeds per device type/class across your network.
