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.

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.

Note that you only will only see more performance when you have multiple clients running simultaneously.
With a small number of clients it depends on how the dice (e.g. the xmit hash) lands. With only two clients, you have a 25% chance of seeing a bandwidth increase in both directions. You also have a 25% chance of seeing no bandwidth increase at all.
All: Thank you for your responses. I bought a GS108T and am using it for my ReadyNAS. I LAG'ed ports 7 and 8. I configured my ReadyNAS interfaces for teaming with LACP.
