What are the benefits of link aggregation? Link aggregation offers the following benefits: Increased reliability and availability. Managed switches support more granular control, while unmanaged switches are easier to set up. Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a single logical link between two networked devices. I believe you misunderstand a few things - chief of which is that on a consumer router you can't typically plug multiple network connections between the router and the a managed switch to aggregate them (and even if you could, this it won't increase your performance because the modem/router can't. Unmanaged switches may be susceptible to loops (no Spanning Tree support), have no broadcast control (no VLAN support), and lack support for features such as Quality of Service (QoS) and Link Aggregation or Trunking.
