Connect a compatible device (such as NAS) that supports teaming ports to netgear cax80 using two UTP network cables. To setup aggregated link please refer to fig 1 below. You can find few NAS models that support dual ports with this link aggregation such as Synology DS220 NAS that comes with dual 1.0 Gbps Ethernet ports with aggregated link support. What this multi-gig lan port is used for? When you need to connect high speed NAS product that supports two Gigabit lan ports and link aggregation, you can configure either cax80 or cax30 to support link aggregation. Cax80 is ready with 2.5Gbps port and when more multi-gig port is needed you can configure two lan port for teaming port (link aggregation). The good thing with both products is that the lan ports support link aggregation when you require multi-gig lan port. Both machines boards come with the same USB 3.0 port you can attach a USB hard disk to share the usb hard disk storage across the network.

#Netgear cax30 series
You can compare to netgear cax30 series which only comes with 4x Gigabit LAN ports.
#Netgear cax30 plus
The other different is the high speed 2.5Gbps Ethernet port embedded on cax80 (1x) plus 4x 1.0 Gbps lan ports.

On the other hand, netgear cax30 is like combination of netgear rax40 ax3000 wifi-6 router plus netgear cm1000 docsis 3.1 cable modem. Cax80 is like individual netgear rax80 a圆000 wifi-6 router that connects to docsis 3.1 cable modem such as netgear cm2000. Later you can compare with arris g36 that also comes with ax3000 network segment.Ĭax80 comes with a圆000 with 8 data streams (4×4 mu-mimo) each band, on the other hand cax30 does ax2700 with 6 data streams. To me it seems not common to have cax30 with ax2700 instead of ax3000. Netgear adds cax30 that works at ax2700, slightly below common ax3000 segment. Below this a圆000 network segment is entry level ax1800 or something higher of up to ax3000 or ax4200 ones. Netgear cax80 works at the middle range of a圆000 network segment.
