No internet connection with WAN Aggregation
Hello community, today I configured the WAN port aggregation using RBK850 WAN+LAN1 ports.
Starting from a working config with a single WAN port, I did the following:
Enable WAN aggregation on RBK850. Status shown me that WAN aggregation is active.
LACP is enabled also on my Netgear GS324T S350 switch that shown me LAG state as "Link Up":
The issue is now that I'm not able to connect RBK850 to the internet.
From statistics I can see:
If I revert back to "Internet Port (2.5 Gbps)" and disable LACP on Netgear switch I have again the connection
Did I missed something?
Thank you
Lucas
OMG! This is clearly a wasting forum space thread 😅
The "newbie" issue was that I assigned, to the internet interface, an already used IP address... 🙄
Now, is working perfect, even if I got "only" 700 Mbps on my Samsung Galaxy s22+, while Orbi app reports 950 Mbps.
But that's ok for my needs, especially if I compare it with my last orbi RBR50

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡Hello community, newbie here, at least with limited networking knowledge.
I'm using pfSense (under Proxmox) + Netgear ORBI WiFi in AP Mode, and everything works perfect. Now, ORBI RBK850 is able to use LACP 802.3ad (WAN+LAN) and I tried to enable it. Unfortunately such setting is supported only with ORBI in router mode. Enabling the LACP on Proxmox, as I already did for GREEN network, everything works perfect except for the fact that ORBI, used as router, enable NAT as any routers do.
So, my situation now is the following. All WiFi devices get 192.168.3.x IP and they are able to surf internet without any issue. Problem is that, as expected, PfSense gets ALL connections with 192.168.2.2 and that's bad for me, because I need to have the original IP to be able to apply specific rules on WiFi interfaces. To be more clear, I have several WiFi lamps/ceiling lights handled by Home Assistand in GREEN network (192.168.10.x). Home Assistant expects different IP for each lamps to be able to map it. But because of Wifi NAT it gets only 192.168.2.2 from all WiFi devices.
I cannot figure out I can have back all the single WiFi IP to be able to identify in pfsense the single devices. Something like disable nat in orbi but keep LACP?
Any clue?Thank you
Lucas
