Model: Archer A20  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I got this product: Archer A20 (AC4000)

 

Internet port ----> ISP router ----> FiOS

LAN 1 ----> Synology NAS DS918+

LAN 2 ----> Synology NAS DS918+

LAN 3 ----> My Desktop

 

2.4Ghz

5 Ghz 1 ----> 65" Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV TU8000 Series 8

5 Ghz 2

 

Steps taken so far:

  • Replaced all my cables with CAT8 cables.
  • Initial configuration.
  • Tried to enable LAN agregation for pots 1 and 2 through the TP-Link settings and failed.
  • Made sure my PC & TV where disconnected from any old WAN/LAN connections.
  • Tried to enable LAN agregation for pots 1 and 2 through the NAS settings and succeded.
  • Tried to enable LAN agregation for pots 1 and 2 through the TP-Link settings, after the bonding succeded on the NAS, and failed.
  • Tested a download. The file was 30GB and the speeds occilated around 100 MB/s. It would take 5 minutes to download from my NAS to my PC.
  • Tried to stream a 4K movie from my NAS to my TV (Using plex through the local network), it works the same as if I didn't have the Archer A20 installed. That is slow, with stuttering, and frequent drops.

 

So I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong. Can you guys help me out?

Which LAG mode you've set up on NAS side ? Try Balance XOR.

Here's a guide for configuring the Synology NAS LAG.
