I am sure this is the most common and popular setup and a very important question. Say you have several computers in your house all hard wired (ethernet)up through a wireless router that is connected to a modem (DSL or Cable) to the internet. There is also a NAS or a home server for sharing, backups, and storage. All of the computers support jumbo frames as well as the router and the NAS. I can see how jumbo frames would help if enabled, for transfers to and from the computers and the server/NAS. BUT will enabling the jumbo frames make for slower more fragmented packets when the computers are connecting to the internet and downloading stuff? The cable/DSL modem is only 10/100 no gigabyte or jumbo frames. Will enabling jumbo frames hurt internet connections and downloads in this setup?

Thank you!
