View or change the router LAN port aggregation mode

To view or change your router's LAN port aggregation mode:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Ethernet Settings
The Ethernet Port Advanced Settings page displays.
In the LAN Port Aggregation section, the LAN Port Aggregation Status field shows
whether port aggregation is active:
• Inactive. No link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet ports 3 and
4 on your router.
• Active. A link aggregation LAN device is connected to Ethernet ports 3 and 4
on your router.
5. To change the LAN port aggregation mode, select one of the following radio buttons:
• Disable. This mode is selected by default. This mode disables LAN port
aggregation on your router. LAN ports 3 and 4 can be used as independent
Ethernet ports.
• Enable (LACP-IEEE 803.3ad). After you connect the Ethernet cables, the router
communicates with the LAN device that is connected to LAN ports 3 and 4 on
your router, and checks to see if LANport aggregation is supported on the LAN
device. If LAN port aggregation is supported, the router automatically trunks LAN
ports 3 and 4. If not, LAN ports 3 and 4 work as independent Ethernet ports. We
recommend that you select this mode unless your LAN device can support a static
link aggregation group (LAG) only.
• Enable static LAG. If your device supports a static LAG only, select this mode.
Otherwise, we recommend that you to select the Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad)
radio button instead.
Note: If your LAN device supports a static LAG only, you must enable static mode
on your router before you connect your device to LAN ports 3 and 4 on the router.
