I'm would like to set up two ports on a G300N into an active-backup pair (both with static IPs, if that makes any difference). In the web interface under Setup->Networking there is a section called "Bonding" that looks promising - the documentation says "Bonding can be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities," but nothing else.
I tried to set up a bond with two interfaces, eth0 and eth1, and the "active-backup" option, but then I couldn't connect to the router. I wonder if this is because eth1 is a port attached to an internal switch and the OS cannot actually see the 4 LAN ports individually.
Has anyone had experience setting this up or is it simply not possible with this model router? I would like to stick with the stock DD-WRT build if possible, since I won't be administering this device in the future.
Note - I also tried setting up SSH management to poke around in the CLI, but I keep getting an "access denied" error after entering my password. This is a separate matter entirely, but I figured it was worth mentioning that I've tried
