Up to 4x Faster Than a Single Gigabit Connection
Port trunking/Link Aggregation (LAG) allows for increased throughput beyond 1G or to provide redundancy across the link(s).

In addition LAGs allow for using multiple ports to create an aggregated connection of up to 4Gbps concurrent throughput to any other link aggregation capable devices such as NETGEAR ReadyNAS storage or Nighthawk routers*.

In the home or in the office with link aggregation you will get the fastest file transfers backups or gaming while also providing a redundant connection for fail-over.
