If I were running an Asus RT-AC68U wireless router (which I don't believe supports LAG out of the box), am I able to take full advantage of a switch such as the TP-LINK TL-SG1016DE to meet my LAG needs?
Basically, I am asking if the router needs to support LAG in order for the switch to function in this capacity. I have a somewhat familiarity of layer 2 and layer 3 devices. If my understanding is correct, I can utilize this setup because switching is does at the layer 2 level, allowing me to hookup my NAS and any other devices that I would like to run in LAG to the TL-SG1016DE switch.
Guidance would be appreciated.
