Hey,
I was wondering if it's possible to add link aggregation support for the BE550 Pro. I was previously using a BE550 non pro and it has link aggregation support but the big difference for me between the two is the 10gig wan port.

I recently got a very good deal on 5gig internet that I don't truly need but it ended up being cheaper than 1gig. So I was looking around for a router that could support such speeds and when I purchased the BE550 Pro I had assumed it had link aggregation support because the non pro variant does.

But from what I can tell to get a router with a 10gig wan and 10gig lan port the price seems to more than double. But with a 50 dollar 2.5gig managed switch that has a 10gig sfp port you would be able to get 10gig through link aggregation for probably close to half the cost of a router with built in 10gig.

So that's essentially my pitch for link aggregation because with it I think it becomes one of the best value routers if you needed speeds higher than 1gig on top of it already being a pretty solid deal. Also I am assuming it does have support for it and just needs to updated to support it if that's not possible let me know! 

Regardless, thanks for taking the time to read this!
