RN21200 and GS116E-200NAS switch
Hello. Firmware version is 6.6.0. Does the Netgear GS116E-200NAS switch support "IEEE 802.3ad LACP" mode on the ReadyNAS network interface bonding?
Thanks in advance.

The GS116E-200 switch supports manual static LAG (see datasheet).
You should consider getting a SMART switch for use with LACP.

You'd want a GS model (gigabit) of course. With LACP its best to get a switch with enough ports so that you can connect all your wired devices to the same switch.

Thank you all for your responses. Note that this is for my home network. I just want to maximize the available bandwidth that the two interfaces that my ReadyNAS can provide. I will probably get the GS716Tv3 Smart Switch.
