Successfull wan aggregation with Hub 4

JJG92
Dialled in

I was able to successfully accomplish wan aggregation with my hub 4 in modem mode, but a power cut caused the link to go down. I was able to get the wan aggregation working again but then I hade another power cut and been unable to get it working again after the second power cut. While the link was up I hade no issues at all. I was seeing 1 to 1.2gb download speeds similar latency and my BGM graph looked fine to.

How I achieved the wan aggregation was having hub 4 in modem mode, turn off via the switch on the back of the hub 4, logging in to my RAX120's Ui enabling wan aggregation, pluggin wan port to port 4 on the hub 4 then port 1 on RAX120 to port 1 on the Hub 4 then turning on the hub once booted up fully wan aggregation showed as Active I was able to successfully accomplish this twice. I'm going to attempt to achieve wan aggregation again when my new equipment comes at the end of the month.

I'm surprised it worked considering the HUB 4 doesn't support 802.3ad LACP.

I was surprised aswell I was replacing all my ethernet cables had 1 spair so give it a go and it worked and when I hade the power cut and was able to replicate  it for a second time was verry surprised

How do you know that the 1Gbps speed is accurate? And how can WAN aggregation work when only one LAN port is active when the hub is in modem mode?

By another post VM have rolled out a firmware that stops this.😢

It's a 'feature' of certain firmware (The latest firmware appears to break it).

Not all 4 ethernet ports on my hub 4 disable when I've got it in modem mode, port 1 and 4 stay active but 2 and 3 disable, my speed tests where done from 5gb port on my router to a 5gb network card and ran tests on fast.com and testmy.net both came back with similar results.
