I agree that this can happen. Though MSS negotiation is supposed to prevent it on the uplink for TCP, and websites, etc on the internet shouldn't be sending jumbo frames on the downlink no matter what. In any event, I agree it is a good idea to test internet speeds after configuring JF, as well as speeds to WiFi or fast ethernet devices on your home network. If you use a VPN, then make sure you check that too.

Personally I don't use JF. My pro-6 performs well enough w/o them, and I'd rather use my network than play with its settings. Though JF certainly can be problematic, there are users who find they work fine on their networks.

Where it gets tricky is when you get folks who don't get the limitations, and refuse to try turning them off when they report performance and connection problems.
