Setting up link aggregation on GT-AC5300

[Jrac86]

This is a reach, but has anyone here successfully set up link aggregation? I have the GT-AC5300 and a Synology NAS and I cannot get link aggregation working. It was working on my previous switch before moving to the GT-AC5300. I am using LAN ports 5/6 and enabled the Bonding/Link Aggregation setting, but the NAS is reporting that it is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

I have mine. It's bonded to a DS214+ and I had no problems. Synology says "2000 Mbps, Full duplex, MTU 1500".
Nothing special, no tricks whatsoever. All was done from graphical interfaces.
While SSH'ing to Synology, I can see interface bond0, with ip address, while eth0 and eth1 don't have any ip address, but all 3 are showing traffic when there's traffic on it.
So all it's good as far as I can tell. It's not trivial to exceed 1G on this old'ish unit, I only manage to do that once, with 2 laptops wired, and it wasn't too much >1G, just a little, but as works as a proof of concept.

This was a bug with the GT-AC5300. Asus fixed it with the latest firmware version(s). I am running the latest (3.0.0.4.384_20308). Hardware is GT-AC5300 and Synology DS918+.

According to Asus support page, it supports link aggregation of only LAN ports 1 and 2. If your NAS also supports 802.3ad (LACP), you are good to go.

Except that the UI instructs use of ports 5 & 6! I have aggregation enabled and am now wondering i this is why I can't get LAN ports 3, 4, 7 and 8 to work?

Now I'm confused. I've got LAG set up on what I thought were LAN ports 1 and 2 (the same as my RT-AC88U). It's connected to a LAG-enabled Linksys LGS308 managed switch. All seems to be working well, though I haven't done any speed tests.

Is there confirmation that 5 & 6 are the correct LAG ports?
