Which Wi-Fi Routers support LACP / LAG and also Armor?
 I have an R7000 WiFi-Router (Firmware V1.0.11.110_10.2.100) with Armor installed. Working good.  I also have a NAS RN212 (ReadyNAS OS 6.10.4) with 2 Ethernet cards. I've read the 2 NIC's can be linke...

Two points off the questionnaire: The LAG will allow two client systems to reach a higher total throughput - not for a single one. If you had an Intel based ReadyNAS OS 6 system with at least four HDDs, I would go the link aggregation way. With the ARM based (it's not a bad system) but just two mechanical HDD it's unlikely you will get double the speed as expected.

Thank you for that information. Good to know. I believe you're indicating I'm already running at close to top speed possible with my current hardware. Guess I'll move on and let this be what it is... a slower system than anticipated. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
