Netgear Orbi LAN Aggregation - Multiple 1 Gb ports on Router -> Multiple 1 Gb ports on Switch

[btstone4]

Is it possible setup LAN aggregation between the Netgear Orbi 960 Series Router and a Netgear switch (any managed switch with at least 3 ports that can be aggregated). The plan would be to connect three 1Gb ports on switch to the three 1Gb ports on Orbi router.

Side question: I'm not a networking guru by any means, but why can't the router be designed to handle 10Gb over all ports? It seems like that would make life more simple.

Not 100% but my understanding is the port aggregation on the 9 series is just wan side. 

Again, not 100%. 

But you could always get a switch with a 2.5gig port that support lan aggregation. 

In regards to the 10gig port issue is 10gig ports are much more expensive than 1gig ports.

Gotcha. That makes since about the 10gb port costs.
I looked at the user manual and it only mentioned WAN aggregation from modem to router, but sometimes user manuals don’t cover all features so I figured I would ask on here.
Thank you for the reply.
