Six Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports allows you to connect even more wired devices. Two of six Gigabit Ethernet ports can be aggregated to double the connection speed to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device for 4k HD streaming or fast backups of multiple WiFi devices simultaneously. Finish backups in less than half the time using Port Aggregation on your Nighthawk X8.


What is the port aggregation on the R8500?
Port aggregation lets you combine two Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Nighthawk router to improve the aggregated file transfer speed. If a device supports Ethernet aggregation like a NAS or managed network switch, you can use the Ethernet aggregate ports 1 and 2 to cable the device to your router. Note that Ethernet port aggregation is also referred to as link aggregation, teaming port, and port trunking.

Which NETGEAR NAS devices will work with the R8500 port aggregation feature?
All of our NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices with two Ethernet ports such as model RN100/200/300/500/700 desktops series and ReadyNAS RN2000/3000/4000 rack-mount series support port aggregation. Other 3rd party storage devices that supports link aggregation will work as well.
