Ethernet Port Aggregation

Ethernet aggregation lets aggregate two Ethernet ports on your router to improve the
aggregated file transfer speed.
To set up Ethernet port aggregation, connect a device that supports Ethernet port
aggregation and 802.3ad to Ethernet aggregate ports 1 and 2 on your router. Note that
Ethernet port aggregation is also referred to as link aggregation, teaming port, and
port trunking.
WARNING: To avoid causing broadcast looping, which can shut down your network,
do not connect an unmanaged switch to Ethernet ports 1 and 2 on your router.
