    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's impenetrable community structure.)

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    Smart / Plus / Click Switches - NETGEAR Communities

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    James,


    This is either a much to short explanation of what you have configured - or if you configued one LAG spanning the four SFP+ ports and intend to use two and two connections it might be simply wrong.
