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-IEEE803.3ad). 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.

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.
