I have a Netgear R7800 router which has 4 ports and doesn't have any options for link aggregation.
I also have a QNAP TS-453mini which has dual ethernet ports and supports aggregation.
I also have a Netgear GS108T which isn't currently being used.
Can I configure the R7800 as just an access point + DHCP server and have the GS108T act as the switch since it supports aggregation?
So basically it would be hooked up like this:
Modem -> R7800 -> GS108T -> All wired devices including both ports of the QNAP TS-453mini.
Would this be the best way to connect everything and get max performance from the QNAP?
Alternatively, I could sell the R7800 and get the R8500 which has six LAN ports (two can be linked for aggregation).
