 In rare circumstances, such as a power outage, your modem might take longer to boot than FreshTomato does. This setting could be used to tune that until it is optimal. The asterisk (*) indicates not all hardware models support this feature.\\ In rare circumstances, such as a power outage, your modem might take longer to boot than FreshTomato does.

-CTF lets bridges use an alternative forwarding method for storing and forwarding frames. Enabling CTF may improve speeds on Internet plans that offer speeds above 100 Mb/second. CTF is usually necessary to reach peak speeds on plans that allow 200 Megabits/second and higher.+CTF lets bridges use an alternative forwarding method for storing/forwarding frames. Enabling it may improve speeds on Internet plans with a profile above 100 Mb/second. CTF is usually necessary to reach peak speeds on plans that allow 200 Megabits/second and higher.
  
-With CTF enabled, the router starts to send transmission frames as soon as the full packet header has been received. However, the router relies on the client device to tell it whether the data is corrupted for resend. This restriction can cause problems with a few common home uses.+With CTF enabled, the router starts to send transmission frames as soon as the full packet header has been received.

 It is best to leave this disabled unless you have specific requirements for it. Using Jumbo Frames means Internet traffic will be fragmented, unless the end device supports Path MTU Discovery. Often, the limited performance benefits of Jumbo Frames isn't worth the time and effort needed to tune/troubleshoot it. It is best to leave this disabled unless you have specific requirements for it.
