Hi. I got two questions... I have Verizon Fios (1/GBS DL & UL). Will Wan Aggregation do anything for me? Should I activate it and if I do, what are the benefits and what should I do? I've only found vague info on this so far... Second: Should I disable or enable SIP ALG? Thoughts? Thanks!David

I'm surprised that no one has said this, but in your situation, LAN aggregation will buy you nothing. You have 1Gbps service and 1Gps LAN ports, so everything matches up perfectly to support your current Internet service speed. If in the future, your ISP supports faster service, such as 2Gbps, then you would need LAN aggregation to take advantage of any speed beyond 1Gbps up to the maximum of 2.5Gbps supported by the Orbi's aggregation option.

You can if your ISP modem also supports LAG.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation Leave it enabled unless you have problems. Mostly SIP helps in some VoIP processing.

  No, I only got 1. Is it possible to get two? :)

    Please check with your ISP if they can provide you with 2 links. Link aggregation is a function to use with multiple internet links to improve the throughput.
