Does anyone know if this addon works with the latest firmware releases? Looks like It's been a while since development was active. http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=34262 If not is there a similar addon?

I have a ReadyNas Pro 4 running RAIDiator 4.2.26. I downloaded it from this website. http://www.mylesgray.com/hardware/teaming-readynas-ultra-nics/
It appears to run fine. After you install it. You choose which teaming mode you want. You can also choose to use Jumbo Frames. I would also double check your network interface setting while you are in FrontView. Makes sure your IP settings are still set. When I installed it. It reset mine to dhcp. I have mine set to a static ip. You will also notice that. It now shows your Ethernet interfaces as Ethernet 1+2 and show Online (Redundant) 2 Gbit.
I am currently trying Adaptive Load Balancing with out Jumbo frames. I wanted to try Dynamic Link Aggregation but my switch only supports Static Link. So far I am impressed. If you are using the ReadyNas as a DHCP server. The DHCP service will be disabled.

The Pro 4 already has teaming as a feature and doesn't need that add-on.

It wasn't on mine. I just verified my model and serial number via the warranty lookup. I thought it was odd myself. That is why I installed the add-on.

The Teaming options are only shown under Network in Frontview if you have two Ethernet cables connected. Can you confirm the NAS shows as a ReadyNAS Pro 4 in Frontview?

My stupid mistake. I uninstalled the add-on and rebooted the nas. I see it now. It all makes sense now! ;-) Thanks. I have been wanting to learn more about Link Aggregation. I should have known to plug another cable in...duh!
