Need Help with Setup

Hello Everyone,

As the title suggest I have those three devices and I need help setting them the proper way and best way for speed.

These are the items that will be hooked up to the devices

1. WD PR4100
2. WD PR4100
3. PS 5
4. All the rest would be wifi devices

The reason I have the switch is for the fact that I could not do link aggregation with the two NAS with just the router and modem.

The main thing I would love to do is set up link aggregation on the two NAS devices and make sure the RS700S has a great speed for all devices are connected via wifi. I also need help with the WAN port on the RS700S because I can't seem to get that to work. Also I need to know where to plug the RJ45 from to make sure the switch has a live internet connection. Please someone help me.

      Start with getting everything in the right order. You subject lists it as it should be:

       

      CM3000 > RS700S > GS110TP

       

      Note that the switch has Gigabit, so that will be the top speed for anything connected through it.

      Did you check the manuals for these devices?

       

      Visit the support pages:

      Support | NETGEAR

      Feed in your model numbers and check the documentation for your hardware.

       

      The manual for the RS700S tells you to use the router’s yellow Internet port to connect the router to the modem.

       

      For more details you would do better to go to the right bits of this community. This is in switches, which is probably the least helpful.
