How I got Bonding to work with a TP-Link TL-SG3210 switch
Hello, I thought I would share, since I was puzzled how or why this happened to me and the switch I had. In the end, I got everything to work, and I do NOT think it is a NTGR issue, but if someo...
You definitely want LACP if you are bonding at the switch.
If you have an unmanaged switch, you can try "adaptive load balancing" on the NAS (with no configuration needed anywhere else).

I have over 20 devices that are constantly connected to my LAN, and at least 15 of those are PC's or MAC's. I have evferything backup with Acronis nightly, between 2AM and 6AM, so at this time I do see high utilization and this LACP connection appears to help with that, judging from how much faster the backup jobs complete vs a single GBe connection.
15 simultaneous Acronis backups certainly can benefit from bonding.

This sounds like a good candidate for the ideas exchange. Maybe post it there.
My backup window (2AM-6Am) was being overrun about 50% of the time, and I get daily emails whether the jobs finished or not.
Since bonding has been enabled, I have yet to exceed the backup window. Not a very technical way to test, but it solves my problem so bonding 100% helps with my environment :)
