M4300 LACP 802.3ad with
Hello, I'm currently changing my switch with M4300-96X. I've a problem with my NAS LACP (802.3ad compliant). My NAS (QNAP) is setup in trunking mode IEEE 802.3ad with all his ports (4x 1G base-T & ...

Definitively an illegal configuration, no matter if we talk standards, QNAP, or Netgear M4300. In a LAG group, only links with the same speed and the same latency must be configured. Remove the four GbE links, and operate the LAG on the two 10G fiber ports. Review the LAG config on the 10G fiber pair, show us the QNAP and the M4300-96 Web LAG and LACP based config please..
I completely forgot this point ..
There is my configuration. It is still not working with only the 2 fiber ports.
Fiber links are up (link LED up, showing activity)?
What SFP+ modules are in place on the M4300 and on the QNAP end of the connection? Correct fiber types in place?
I've not specify this point but yes link are UP and shown as active in the CLI.
The SFP are compatible with the device and the fiber. I've been using them on my previous switch.

Some more insight of the SFP+ modules could be read from the switch, when the wally brain is still working, something like:
# show fiber

Some more information would be great for completeness...
Always worth checking would be is these ports are in stacking or in Ethernet mode.
# show stack-port
Can I check... we want to set this up also.. we have 2 x 10G ports that already work between QNAP and Netgear with ALB trunking on the qnap nas enabled. So the ports and connections all work.
Is the setup in the previous post picture the only things you need to set up to make it work. Pick LAG ID and select the ports to join it.
QNAP say this about hash mode..
Select the desired hash policy for 802.3ad trunking:
Layer 2 (MAC) – Compatible with all managed switches (default).
Layer 2+3 (MAC+IP) – Not supported by all switches. If supported, offers better performance (recommended).
So which hash mode applies to these options. Layer 2+3 apparently better performance but which mode is this on netgear.. enhanced?

The port selection is in place, look on Joris-DLabs post up here. The point it the dynamic LACP LAG does not come up for the OP when I remember the thread right.

The M4300 (and M4250, M4350, ...) are almost certainly able to take the L2+3 data stream on a static and a dynamic LCACP LAG. Similar settings available on the LAG controls 8-)
