Nighthawk 10G LAN SFP+ Port
I just installed the Netgear X10 R9000 router with the 10G LAN SFP+ port.
Is there a way for me to utilize this port with my RedayNAS 212?
Thanks

No. The only ReadyNAS models with an SFP+ port are the RR4312X and RR4360X rackmounts - which are very expensive, and not really intended for home use.
It is possible to aggregate the two NICs in the RN212 (connecting them both to the router), and gain some throughput that way. However, the gains aren't that much in practice, so in most situations I don't think it's worth the bother. But if you are interested, there is an article here you might read: https://kb.netgear.com/29910/How-do-I-enable-Ethernet-port-aggregation-on-my-Nighthawk-R8500-or-R9000-router
Is there a performance bottleneck you want to overcome?
Thank you or the explanation
There is no bottleneck. My RN works just fine. As with most tech junkies, I was just making sure I had everything optimized.
The X10 router is an upgrade from the R7000. After a couple of days, I would have to say that the X10 is super fast and has crazy range. I am turning 2 streets away before my phone drops my X10. I'm sure it's not usable from there but the R7000 dropped after about 300 yards up the road.
Thanks again
