Link aggregation for bandwidth doubling: 2PCs, 2 NICs each
I have 2 PCs, Windows 7 on both, each one with an Intel desktop board that has one integrated GBLan.
I put on each PC an additional Intel PCI-ex GBLan adapter.
So, each PC has now 2 active LAN adapters, each one supports Intel ANS, with teaming support.
I have also a Linksys WRT610N router (with 4 ports wired switch).
I connected each LAN by a cable to the Linksys switch (4 cables connected).
How can I implement link aggreagation/teaming in a way that the bandwith between the 2 computers grows up to 2Gnps ? (Yes, I have hardware supporting > 125MBps speed transfer and I need bandwidth)
I tried IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation, but as you see in the image one adapter is always in standby mode....
How can I configure all in a way that the 2 adapters in each PC are seen as one and via the switch I can have the double of a single link bandwidth ?
Each computer has set-up a team as seen in the images - but apparently not working as it should - on the router only 2 leds are quickly blinking.
Do I have to enable VLAN ?
Thanks, I hope some network guru enlightens me.
