Port aggregation
I thought I posted it, so please if someone finds it somewhere else it is likely my mistake. To the point. I am under impression the port aggregation should say active if connection to QNAP NAS ...

as it only supports if one adapter fails, the other takes over.
No, perfectly correct. The bonding adapter does hold an IPv4 address, the individual ones don't.

I tried with two different IP addresses for balance load but I had no Internet Access. I think I will try to assign a static address for both adapters.
Impossible to configure on QTS - and that's OK. In case your NAS can't reach the Internet, check if you had fixed the interface to a different NAS interface before in the Default Gateway selection settings.
Port aggregation works just great. Thank you all for the input.
In QNAP NAS I did choose right setting which is:
Supports Active-Backup, Balance-tlb, and Balance-alb

Sorry for chiming in again: These three modes can be used with generic switches which are not configured for either a static or 802.3ad LACP trunk. For the router here supporting 802.3ad only, you have to choose IEEE 802.3ad on the NAS side, too. QNAP has a nice table ref. "Switch Required" in the docs -> QNAP QTS 4.3: Network & Virtual Switch
