R6400 Teaming Mode
I've got my new ReadyNAS 104 coming in tomorrow (giggity) and I'm planning on bonding the NICs. However, I'm not sure which, if any, teaming modes my R6400 will support. I've searched high and low and cannot find this information anywhere.
Additionally, is there any special setup I need to do on the R6400 itself to get the maximum benefit? I'm looking for the maximum bandwidth aggregation if at all possible.
Hi maliciousa,
Port aggregation is not support by the R6400. You may want to look into the R8500 since it supports port aggregation. You can check the link below.

Thanks for the info. I went and got the R8500, and wow, this thing is a beast. I had some wierd trouble setting the router up initially (probably an issue with my U-Verse Gateway actually), but nothing a router reboot couldn't fix.
I did discover a strange bug while setting up parental controls, is there a way I can let someone at Netgear know about that?

Hi maliciousa,
I'm glad you got it working. May I know what the issue is with the Parental Controls feature?

- maliciousaAspirantAbsolutely. When setting the parental controls using the Genie app (on an iMac), I selected custom filtering settings. If I chose to filter out "Typo Squatting", the settings wouldn't save and it told me there was an error saving my settings.
I verified that one setting was the problem by enabling each desired filter one by one, until that problem came up.- DexterJBNETGEAR Moderator
Hi maliciousa,
Please provide a screenshot of the setting and the error message.
