Link Aggregation causes all volumes to disappear
I have a ReadyNAS 104 NAS with a Netgear RAXE500 router. Both NAS NIC ports are connected to Ports 3 and 4 on the router. I have configured eth0 and eth1 to be bonded using IEEE 802.3ad LACP with Layer 2+3 Hash type, and they show they are bonded successfully.
On my router, ethernet port aggregration is enabled (LACP-IEEE 502.3ad), but the router reports Ethernet Port Aggregration is inactive.
After bonding the ethernet ports on the NAS, all my volumes show up as missing. When I unbind eth0 and 1 and restart the NAS, I get access back to my shares. I've followed all the videos on setting up an aggregated link for ReadyNAS, and running the latest firmware 6.10.6, but can't seem to get the aggregation working. Any ideas?

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the ReadyNAS products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NAS products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:
