Double teaming router

[Jamil367]

So as you know from my previous posts my asus h110i plus died and i want to get either the gigabyte h270n or z270n which have two ethernet port, what i want to know does double teaming double your internet speed if so what are my router options

It does NOT double your internet speed. You might see a tiny difference to internet speed.

What it does do though is double the connection speed to other LAN devices. So if you have a home media server or a home archive server for backing up critical files then doubling down on ethernet cables will indeed increase local transfer speeds.

Well only if you have the same dual cable system on the other devices as well...

Just to be clear, you would need a server operating system (Windows Server 2016 for example) to make use of the LAN teaming, also known as Link Aggregation. Windows 10 does not support it, older Windows versions probably also not (but I may be wrong).

Secondly, the switch or the router (depending on what you connect the motherboard to) must also be able to support Link Aggregation for it to function at all.

Thirdly, you will not get faster speed. Your outside speed is limited by your WAN connection and local network speed is limited to single link speed. The only benefit that you can get is if you have multiple clients connecting to that computer, then each client can use one or the other path, meaning all clients combined can use up to twice the bandwidth of one link, but every single client is limited to the speed of one link.
