RBK 852 - WAN aggregation

RBK 852 - WAN aggregation

I'm looking to leverage the WAN aggregation feature on my RBK 852 (2.5 Gbps + 1 Gbps, LACP-IEEE802.3ad), potentially through two 1000Mbps FTTH connections. 

 

I'd like to know:

(1) If both connections are from the same ISP but via different modems, whether I need any configuration from my ISP end - e.g. bonding.  What will happen if I simply plug in the two cables after setting things up on the Orbi webpage?

 

(2) If both connections from the same ISP and via the same modem (i.e. 2 ethernet cables come out from the same modem), do I need specific settings on the modem?  What will happen if I simply plug in the two cables after setting things up on the Orbi webpage?

 

(3) If the two connections are from 2 different ISPs, would that work? Is it possible to make it work?

 

Any thoughts and advice would be most welcome! Thanks!

Re: RBK 852 - WAN aggregation

You should be able to use links from two different ISP's provided the ISP modems support Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
