Add Link Aggregation / Bonding / Teaming To Orbi for NAS Setups (IE ReadyNAS)

Many NAS systems with dual LAN / ethernet ports are enterting the home (including Netgear's ReadyNAS). While Orbi has great strenth in both power and simplicity, it's more advanced features are scattered. One of the features missing from Orbi is Link Aggregation / Bonding / Teaming between two different LAN ports hooked up to a NAS system.

 

This setting is available in other Netgear networking hardware and would be a great addition to the Orbi as well. This would allow NAS users on an Orbi setup to link two LAN ports together to balance the load of data coming through the NAS on the network (Using Round-Robin, XOR, etc.) to nearly double the transfer speed of NAS devices. This would greatly enhance the user experience.
