Link Aggregation 

Link Aggregation combines two physical network links into a single logical link for increased bandwidth. 

With it enabled, users can increase the capacity and availability of the communications channel between 

devices (both switches and end stations). Besides, link aggregation also provides load balancing. 

Open “

Basic

” in “

System

”, Link Aggregation is as below: 

 

Figure 29 Link Aggregation 

 

Full Duplex Two Channels:

 Normally, the wireless module in DAP-3860 receives and transmits 

wireless packets concurrently; if check this box, it only transmits wireless packets on WLAN but stops 

receiving. Thus the wireless performance could be enhanced further more. 

 

  Link aggregation takes effect only when both cards work on Bridge (CSMA) mode!
