In the meantime, I'm running on FW level 6.9.3 and the setting is stable but still, there is no data received over one of the two connections within the bond. One is constantly receiving 4Mbps data from 4 separate devices in total so it should be possible to use both ports with setting L3+L4, correct?
The L3+L4 setting only applies when sending. The switch LACP setting is what matters in the NAS receive direction. Most switches are hard-wired to use layer-2 hashing.
The odds of receiving streams from 4 devices on the same link is 1/8 - not that probable, but not shocking either. Using L3+L4 doesn't change those odds - what it does is potentially allow 2 streams going to the same device to use different links.
You might consider using a static LAG on the switch, and set up the NAS to use round-robin.

I'm on version 6.9.0 and there is no update as the GUI informs me. Multiple reboots don't change anything. Where can I find the fix?
