ReadyNas 204 Aggregation Setup
Hello, Hoping someone can help with my installation. I bought the following NETGEAR hardware: - Nighthawk X8 8500 Router [FW: V1.0.2.64_1.0.62] - ReadyNAS Model 204 [FW: 6.5.1] I'm t...
Thank you! I'll give that a try.
I have the NAS set a static IP already.
Do you know if there is any particular reason it why it wouldn't work as NETGEAR advertised in via the video on YouTube or in the manual?
Thanks again.

It did work when I tested it, but that was some time ago. Were you unable to reach the NAS (for instance ping, or \\nasipaddress in file explorer)? Or did you just have a discovery issue (e.g., the NAS didn't show up in network - but perhaps was still reachable).

A friend me that his setup the same way and his is working and he is seeing pretty decent gains when copying large files, which is what I'm shooting for as well.
Often people don't really understand what NIC bonding can (and can't) do. NIC bonding is helpful if you often have multiple users accessing the NAS.
But if only a single user is accessing the NAS, you will NEVER see gains unless you are also using NIC bonding on the PC (and usually you won't see gains even if you are doing that).
