Re: [H] Netgear X10 router

I'm really glad you said something--I could have sworn that when I was looking 
it up way back, you could use the 2 ports for traffic segmentation. It does 
indeed appear that is NOT the case. It doesn't look like it supports LACP or 
any other form of aggregation either--the 2nd port is a bridge port used to 
connect another AP or another device.

One thing of note, I believe the 2 lan ports are *not* for separating, but 
rather to bond together to reach the advertized 1.5GB wifi speeds.  Other than 
that I agree, unifi is the way to go.
