How do you configure an aggregate on a Netgear R9000 with firmware DD-WRT v3.0-r54879 std (01/11/24)? I want to make a 2gb port channel.

Im afraid that this is not know to me yet...the only way to use more than a gigabit WAN is using SFP port as a WAN port instead...for more info you need to find and read/understand the R9000 VLAN's guide...

To the best of my knowledge, link aggregation is not supported in DD-WRT on any device, unless "Bonding" under Setup -> Networking can be used or there is a setting on the VLANs / Switch Config tab that actually works. But the R9000 is a tricky beast. Also, AFAIK, link aggregation is not supported on Netgear or Voxel firmware on the R8900/R9000.

I found the bonding setup here and I was going to try it. Only thing, I need to create 2 new VLANS VLAN3 and VLAN4 and assign it to the bonding. Then assign that bond to the bridge from what I read.

So now on my R9000, how do you create and assign 2 new VLANS from Command line?

Here is what may work: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=301938&sid=c3fd998dfedb004935961e6972742514

Only issue is creating the 2 new VLANS in command line. Anyone know the commandlines to add the new VLANS? I did in the GUI but the one the BONDING page they don't show up.

Seems to me you were given the answer to this just 4 days ago.

You don't even need to try.
It's all a big joke

The LAN VLAN of the first switch is connected to the processor via 1x 1Gbit port.
More than 1Gbit will never flow over it.
The second Gbit link to the processor is used for WAN.


I have been playing around with bonding on my r7800 .
It doesn't work it doesn't even create a bonding interface.
So leave it as it is and save yourself the work.

However, you can still use the 2Gbit WAN link from your ISP.
You can do this by using WLAN + LAN at the same time

I have the 10gb sfp+ connected to my isp routers 5gb port. My isp supplies 2gb down speeds to me. So I wanted to setup the 2 1gb ports to aggregate (2gb) to the 2 1gb ports on a switch that has multigig 2.5gb ports. So pc's connected to the 2.5gb switch will be able to benifit the 2gb down speeds. You're saying it won't work? What's the purpose of the 10gb sfp+ on the R9000 if I can't benifit from it? Here is a quick diagram.

Sorry I don't have an R9000 myself
I don't know what the Netgear firmware does exactly.

You can simply test it...
Connect two devices to the r9000

Then start two speed tests at the same time and you will see if 2Gbit arrive (2x1Gbit)
According to the switch wiring diagram that the community has created, only 1Gbit should arrive.

And in the manual of the Netgear r9000 it says in relation to LAC only LAN to LAN works and not WAN to LAN

apart from the fact that LAC / bonding doesn't work anyway (you probably missed the fact that it doesn't seem to work at all under dd-wrt)

This still requires 802.3ad bonding to be configured on the R9000 router. I'm sure there's a way to do it, so I can test whether it transfers full 2gb. I followed the steps for creating the bond and also the step in creating the vlans. When I try to add bond0 to the br0, the pull down doesn't show the new bond I created. After the bond is created do I need to turn it on to be visible? Anyone have experience setting up bonding and vlans on the R9000?

buy a pair of glasses and read what i've written, that's all i'll say.

The only possibility I see is to use the SFP+ port for WAN+LAN.

For this you need a 10Gbit managed SFP+ switch.
And you need to configure two VLANs on the SFP port.

I've read it and you're very rude. It doesn't make sense to me and who said I am adding a NAS device? You have to setup 802.3ab on both ends for it to work from what I heard. I have successfully created a bond and it doesn't connect. Other that I gave up so thanks for the help.

Maybe I'm being rude.

But there are some things and statements that you simply ignore.

1. the "switch config tab" on the R9000 does not work and has never worked
2. in your linked thread "R8500: Port Aggregation / Bonding" it says that it does not work and has not worked for at least 8 years.
3. I told you - that you don't even need to try it because it doesn't work anyway

You can of course ignore all this and say "I think / I'm sure it works!"
But it doesn't help at all if you ignore me, annoy me and bully me - that doesn't get you any further towards your goal - the only thing you achieve is that I become rude.

4. I am quite sure that it works with a 10Gbit SFP+ switch if you configure the SFP port as a trunk for WAN and LAN this allows you a theoretical WAN<->LAN throughput of 5Gbit.

you want to know what the SFP port is good for?

It currently allows you a 2Gbit WAN - 1Gbit via LAN and 1Gbit via WLAN
It also gives you a 5Gbit WAN if you use it correctly

As I said, what you have in mind is not possible - and if you don't like dd-wrt, you can ask for your money back at any time. Smile

Since the stock firmware supposedly supports link aggregation, you can use it.

Bonding should now work on the r7800/r9000

A bonding interface is now created.

https://svn.dd-wrt.com/changeset/55451

However, there is still the problem for you that the switch of the R9000 must be configured via CLI.

The 2 CPUs ports must be bondet (eth1+eth2)
