    I actually figured out what was going on with mine. Once I found and installed the beta firmware, the static lag option showed up. I changed that setting and then connected and everything seems to be running fine and port aggregation says that it's active.

I'm also trying to setup link aggregation and I can't get it to work. I followed every procedure in that article, until I get to step 5 to set up LAG on my X10 router. It said to click "Enable (Static LAG)" The only option I have on my screen is "Enable (LACP- IEEE 802.3ad)". Even when I enable that and connect the wires, the port aggregation never says active, but I no longer have the network loops that were shutting me down. I'm at a bit of a loss currently.
