    DNS on LAN

    Please forgive me if this is a noob question. I purchased a domain and I use it for accessing my local network. ie: nas.mydomain.com, router.mydomain.com, plex.mydomain.com. I have forwarded the corresponding ports in my account's domain settings so that I can remote access services this way...

    Router Requirements for LAG

    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...

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    Does this mean that multi-file transfers will be faster? Let's say I am transferring a folder of 1000 songs or 1000 pictures. Does LAG enable these to be spread out over the interfaces? Say, 500 per cable in a 2x LAG setup? Ultimately resulting in the data being transferred more quickly?

    Thank you for the input guys. Is someone else able to confirm one of these positions?

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    Exactly. I have a lot to transfer to the NAS, and I'd like to have the bandwidth for future large data transfers,

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    Will the 88U support link aggregation to two different machines? 2x Ethernet on my NAS and 2x on my desktop? If so, I don't need to buy the switch to enable LAG. Especially since the 88U has 8 LAN ports.

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    My thoughts exactly. This is why I do not necessarily need all of the features of the 5300. My NAS does all of the things that these routers do, and obviously a lot more. I'd rather not pay for features in a router that I will not use, because I have a NAS.

    How about the 88U? What are your thoughts on that?

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    I was also in the process of moving, selling my old house, and my wife was having a baby. So we were pretty slammed and I didn't have much time to research. I was using a Linksys E4200 from 2011, and I didn't want to underbuy on a new router.

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    I will be running TP-Link TL-SG1016DE switch as well because it supports link aggregation. Knowing this, which of these two routers would be preferred? I have looked at the RT-AC88U, which is very nice. However, I believe that the 88U as well as the 5300 each have only two ports that support...

    Router Features with Synology NAS

    Because it's a very advanced router. I want the best performance, but don't necessarily need all of the features. What are recommendations for matched performance, without the features that my NAS can replicate?

    Which AC5300 Router

    Would two ASUS RT-AC87U Wireless-AC2400 in the exact same setup that you described above work any better than two 68U 1900 units?
