I have set it up manually and so far it works. But once I turned on the link aggregation, it hangs after reboot. I used it with a Synology NAS. It used to work.

There are several threads on here about issues with Netgear Routers not playing nice with Link Aggregation.
I just bought an RAX200 and when I had it configured for WAN LAG I needed to either reset it or unplug and replug a cable once every 24 hours. It is a feature that appears to be defective at this time.

Sorry to hear that! Glad to know it's likely not hardware problem.

That's all related to the LAG on the WAN interface from what I remember. Before this feature was added the LAN side LAG was (and is here e.g. some R9000) very reliable, both as a static LAG against some switches (like the S8000 or SX10) or as a dynamic LDAP LAG to some NAS (QNAP, ReadyNAS, or Syno).
geog does the same hang happen while the two LAG ports are not connected at all? Is the LAG configured static or LDAP? Have ssh access to the router - just for curiosity, I'd suggest some checks.

Sorry, telnet it is. Try http://routerlogin.net/debug.htm or http://[LAN-IP]/debug.htm ... newer Nightawk AC and RAX have a page with special controls allowing to enable telnet.
