Ethernet Port link aggregation

Well it is finally fixed. The tech showed up today and I showed him the two frequencies that were having the problem. He checked outside, and then at the tap. He came into the house and said he needed to call a bucket truck in to fix it. I got a recorded call from Comcast that they were working to fix the issue. I got a second call an hour later that the issue was fixed. I ran a speed test and got a consistent 160mbps (yay!). I used the reset button on the modem and let it re-provision. All the signal/noise and power levels were good and there were no uncorrectable codewords. They didn't tell me what they fixed, but at long last, it is fixed.
With the RAX200, you have the ability to use LACP between ports 1 and 2.
Then ports 3 and 4 will run at 1GbE, thus wired clients will top out at 1 gigabit, but 2 of those wired clients can still access the NAS at the same time and likely get a slowdown from each other. You also have the multi-gig port that will do 5Gbps/ 2.5Gbps/ 1Gbps.
This means that any PC with a multigig port, e.g., a modern mothrrboard with a built in 2.5GbE port, or if you have one of those $12-15 2.5GbE NICs, then that will get the full 2Gbps from the NAS.
Then you have the WiFi. The RAX200 will get roughly 1.8Gbps in real worth throughput on a 2 stream 160MHz client such as an Intel AX200.
