Does the WiFi-7 AP NWA 130BE support link aggregation?

I already have two Zyxel managed switches that support link aggregation. I just purchased the NWA 130BE wireless AP, largely due to the tri-radio and the dual 2.5GbE ports, with the plan to connect it to my XMG1915 10E via two CAT6a cables.

Reading all the documentation I could find, I don't see any settings on the 130BE that support link aggregation.

Any thoughts on if I can do this, and, if so, how to do it?

If it's impossible, then I don't want to waste the expense and effort to run the additional CAT6a cable for the second port.

Thanks — I'm pretty much a newbie on networking; but I'm learning a lot.

    Hi @daw ,

    Please note that our access points, including NWA130BE, do not support link aggregation.

    The NWA130BE has two 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports: one Uplink port to connect to your switch, router, or firewall, and one LAN port to connect to end devices such as a laptop.

    So, you only need the single 2.5GbE uplink connection to your XMG1915-10E.
