Which is better ethernet port aggregation or wan link aggregation?


Asked by Ophelia Allison on Nov 28, 2021 FAQ



@Carbo unless your internet is faster than 1Gbps, even both your modem supports link aggregation on its LAN side and your router supports link aggregation on it's WAN side, you don't benefit anything. Netgear AX8 does support WAN link aggregation, don't know if AX4/AX12 too. My internet is rated at 400 Mbps.
Just so,
LAN aggregation is associated with a home network, and these connections can affect the devices that are connected to the router. WAN Aggregation, on the other hand, is associated with a cable modem.
Keeping this in consideration, LAN aggregation is associated with your home network. An aggregated LAN connection affects the devices that are connected to your router. The benefits of LAN aggregation include more throughput and bandwidth for connected devices and network redundancy if one link fails.
Consequently,
For example, if a router has two ports that can handle 1Gbps each, the WAN aggregation router can supply your organization with a total of 2Gbps. The specific steps to set up WAN aggregation depend on the make and model of your router and modem.
Next,
In this time of transition from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps wired Ethernet, a more available, and affordable strategy to consider is Link Aggregation, which also goes by the names of link bundling, and port aggregation. This is a method to combine multiple individual Ethernet connections, into one logical link.
