Please allow me to add some history to thie thread. Some earlier routers supported port aggregation for two LAN ports. Initially, this was indeed 802.3ad LACP based. With the introduction of the Nighthawk Switch (S8000, technically GS808E) and Nighthawk Gaming Switch (SX10, technically GS810EMX), static LAG [with Balanced XOR TX policyfrom wally brain] was added to some routers, e.g. the R9000/R8900 at least - simply to gain compatibility in these product lines. You'll note the two hardware units and their mounting accessories and power adapters out of the box. How fast this solution can communicate with a single client is useful, but it isn’t the true performance potential of this hardware. Based on the very limited information, in my understanding this limitation applied to the router mode and the two aggregated links to the router WAN/Internet side. No word of LAN side.

The more Netgear hardware you have, the cheaper per device it is, but unless you intend to extensively use this level of management, it is something that you can do without once you are up and running. Iot) - Network Isolation. I previously had Client Isolation on, but it prevents this feature from working. Makes sense. Firmware on both systems is fully current (this was much more difficult with the Pro system - the App would show updates as available, but would not complete installation, the web interface might or might not show updates as available, but the button to apply the update never became active - I ended up doing it via each unit's individual web interface manually.)sps_register_bam_device : unable to create IPC Logging 3 for bam 0x0000000008b04000sps_register_bam_device : unable to create IPC Logging 4 for bam 0x0000000008b04000 On the router, the first 2.5 Gbps port works as the WAN port by default. However, you can also turn one of its LAN ports into a WAN port, and now, this port will work as a multi-gig LAN, which is excellent if you want to host high-speed wired clients. wlan: [7879:I:dfs] WLAN_DEBUG_DFS_ALWAYS : dfs_agile_soc_obj_init: 1585: dfs_soc_obj->num_dfs_privs: 2 cpr4_ipq807x_apss_calculate_target_quotients: apc_corner: fused TURBO: quot[ 7]=1042, quot_offset[ 7]= 105

From the outside, the two parts look practically identical. The only significant difference between the router and satellite is that the four Ethernet ports on the router include a single WAN port to connect to the Internet broadband modem. On the satellite, all four are for distributing a wired network. wlan: [7879:I:dfs] WLAN_DEBUG_DFS_ALWAYS : wlan_dfs_pdev_obj_create_notification: 361: Do not allocate DFS object for 2G, pdev_id = 1With the satellite added to the router and placed at the other side of the building, the impact of reinforced walls on signal quality is reduced, and mobile devices can move between connecting between the two seamlessly. wlan: [8627:I:ANY] ol_ath_vap_set_param: 2139: VDEV params:HE su_bfee:1|su_bfer:1|mu_bfee:0|mu_bfer:1|dl_muofdma:1|ul_muofdma:1|ul_mumimo:1 Memory: 887104K/1048576K available (7424K kernel code, 842K rwdata, 2044K rodata, 7552K init, 271K bss, 161472K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) wlan: [7818:I:TIF] ol_ath_pdev_regdmn_init: 7404: Reg cap - phy_id = 2 supp_bnd = 2, modes = 397f9001, lo_2g = 0, hi_2g = 0 lo_g5 = 5490, hi_5g = 6000 The availability of 802.3ad LACP is not something specific to a L3 switch (these would be primarilyfor supporting IPv4 and IPv6 routing applications among a few others) - this desinformation seems to come from other sources, I've never said this.

And finally, as a business solution, the SXK30 features VLAN for its network ports and Wi-Fi SSIDs. This feature allows users to segment and controls their network according to specific needs.

Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 hardware specifications: SXK80 vs RBK852Where the SXK80 can handle a building space of up to 18,000 square feet with a maximum of six satellites, the SXK30 can also connect to six satellites but only covers 6,000 square feet. An office or retail space 77ft square is still a good size for a small business unless they have a large workshop or production area. That’s because apart from the hefty initial price, the Netgear SXK80 Orbi Pro Wi-Fi 6’s Insight mobile app, which allows for managing your network from anywhere in the world, also incurs additional fees. I don't know if this is already somewhere. I'm adding here the output of dmesg after login in the router. if that is useful for anything.
