WAN Aggregation
I just upgraded my router to one that supports WAN aggregation. Do I need a second IP adress for that? Can you tell me what the price of that service is? Thank you for your time.

I have the Arris T25 and have 802.3ad LAG set to combine both gigabit LAN ports on the modem into a virtual 2Gb port.
I then have WAN aggregation enabled on my router and have the two ports on the modem connected to my router’s WAN port and LAN port 4 (which is enabled for aggregation).
Everything works with one IP. It’s as if you have a single WAN interface but it’s virtual using 2 physical ports.

So all I have to do is plug in a second ethernet cable from my modem to my nighthawk, then turn the setting on in my router?

I just updated my router and found this invaluable tidbit to get the full speed from my t25 modem. Thanks!

Can someone please indicate how to " have 802.3ad LAG set to combine both gigabit LAN ports on the modem into a virtual 2Gb port.".
How does one configure the router to take advantage of the TWO gigaport ports? I do not want an additional IP address.
One of my ports is rendered useless currently. I assume it is a setting, but how to set it?

I was never able to implement wan aggregation, but dual wan is setup similar, it works beautifully,

It would depend if your router supports it, I have a asus rt-ax86u, it’s configured in the router it’s self, you do have to supply the router with 2 1000 Mbps active feeds, that particular router, says it’s multi gig, which it is, but you can only use the 2.5 gig Ethernet port on the wan or lan side, not both simultaneously, so obviously problems, but by using the dual wan method, I assign the 2.5 gig port the lan side,
