Nighthawk R8000P WAN aggregation error
I am trying to setup the WAN aggregation as my internet speed is over 1 gigabit. My modem is an Arris SB8200, I have already enabled the aggregation settings on that device. Whenever I try to enable ...
what version of firmware are you on?
Looks like it was added in version 1.4.1.42
did you enable wan port aggregation on the SB8200?
Enable it on both devices. power them both off, then turn on the modem, give it a couple minutes, then power on the r8000P
Okay thank you, will try that boot order. I guess a major part of my question is if anyone knows exactly which ports I should be using on the r8000p. The page I linked makes it sound like it should be internet and port 4, but ports 1 and 2 are the ones marked as aggregate. Hence why I tried different configurations.
On all my devices that support wan port aggregation, its the wan port and lan port 1.
- but the guide for it shows the wan port and lan port 4

For anyone that finds this in the future, I also replaced the cables I was using with 2 identical brand and length cat 6 cables, and the ports that should be used are the WAN Internet port and Ethernet port 4. Thank you for your help.
Glad to hear you got it working!
