RBK 852 - WAN aggregation

I'm looking to leverage the WAN aggregation feature on my RBK 852 (2.5 Gbps + 1 Gbps, LACP-IEEE802.3ad), potentially through two 1000Mbps FTTH connections.    I'd like to know: (1) If both connect...

    Please post about this over in the Orbi AX forum:

    Review the user manual. 

     

    Good Luck.

    I'd like to know:

    (1) If both connections are from the same ISP but via different modems, whether I need any configuration from my ISP end - e.g. bonding.  What will happen if I simply plug in the two cables after setting things up on the Orbi webpage?

     

    (2) If both connections from the same ISP and via the same modem (i.e. 2 ethernet cables come out from the same modem), do I need specific settings on the modem?  What will happen if I simply plug in the two cables after setting things up on the Orbi webpage?

     

    (3) If the two connections are from 2 different ISPs, would that work? Is it possible to make it work?

     

    Any thoughts and advice would be most welcome! Thanks!
