5. Select an Ethernet port aggregation mode:
•
Disable. This mode is selected by default. This mode disables Ethernet port
aggregation on your router. Ethernet ports 4 and 5 can be used as independent
Ethernet ports.
• Enable (LACP-IEEE 803.3ad). The router communicates with the device connected
to Ethernet ports 4 and 5 on your router, and checks to see if Ethernet port
aggregation is supported on the device. If Ethernet port aggregation is supported,
the router automatically trunks Ethernet ports 4 and 5. If not, Ethernet ports 4 and
5 work as independent Ethernet ports. We recommend that you select this mode
unless your NAS or switch can support static LAG only.
•
Static. If your device supports a static link aggregation group (LAG) only, select
this mode. Otherwise, we recommend that you to select the Enable (LACP-IEE
803.3ad) radio button instead.
Note: You must enable static mode before you connect your device to Ethernet
ports 4 and 5 on the router.
Get Multi-Gig Internet With Internet Port
Aggregation
To get multi-gig Internet with your router, set up Internet port aggregation by
aggregating the Internet port and Ethernet port 1 on the router.
To set up Internet port aggregation, you need the following:
•
A service provider that offers an Internet speed that's over 1 Gbps.
•
A modem that supports an Internet speed that's over 1 Gbps and Internet port
aggregation.
