Hi, I have a NAS and my WIndows 8.1x64 PC as clients of my LAN, both connected to a Gigabit switch. My PC has two Gigabit NIC's of which currently only one is being used to connect to the LAN, the NAS has 4 NIC's of which only one is currently being used. I'd like to use link aggregation to double the file transfer rate between my PC and the NAS. Besides connecting both the LAN1 and LAN2 ports of the NAS to the switch, do I also need to connect both PC NIC's to the router? How should I configure the software in Windows 8.1x64 to achieve this? Thanks
