To set up Ethernet port aggregation:
1. Set up Ethernet port aggregation on your device before connecting it to your router.
Note: If your device supports a static link aggregation group (LAG) only, you must
enable static LAG before you connect your device to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on the
router. See Step 3 for more information about how to enable static LAG on your
router.
For information about how to set up Ethernet port aggregation on your router or
computer, see the documentation that came with your router or computer.
2. Connect your device to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on the router.
3. Log in to your router and enable Ethernet port aggregation:
a. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to
the router network.
b. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
c. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
d. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Port Aggregation.
The Ethernet Port Aggregation page displays.
e. Select an Ethernet port aggregation mode:
• Dynamic (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad). The router communicates with the device
connected to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 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 1
and 2. If not, Ethernet ports 1 and 2 work as independent Ethernet ports. We
recommend that you select this mode unless your NAS or switch can support
static LAG only.
• Enable static LAG. 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 802.3ad) radio button instead.
Note: You must enable static LAG before you connect your device to Ethernet
ports 1 and 2 on the router.
f. Click the Apply button.
