if you want to have two links grouped together so that a single transfer uses both links together (2gbps) then the switch has to support it. default is for two separate transfers to each get one gbit, which is good enough for most applications.

packet loss at summer temps is indicative of faulty hardware (maybe just the thermal paste or other parts of the heat management)



> packet loss at summer temps is indicative of faulty hardware (maybe just the thermal paste or other parts of the heat management)

there is no heat management in the Ubnt USG. no thermal paste on the hot network ports, no cooling design beyond passive cooling (little air holes in the side of the case) that doesn't work when it's laid flat (need to vertically mount to encourage airflow).

most of the hacks are people fitting fans in a case that isn't designed for it: i.e. https://old.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/cr88fw/cooling_th...

if the USG is in a cupboard or somewhere with poor airflow, and it's the Summer, then it's packet loss city.

would agree that this is a faulty hardware, faulty by design.
