Cool - that sounds like a really good approach! Do you have any recommendations on switches to use? I have Netgear around my house but their consumer grade 10 gig switches don't seem to support link aggregation.

Appreciate the insights!
I'd suggest this one

Obviously you can't get >1G out the other side of your firewall tho....

Another option would be this:

https://linitx.com/product/mikrotik-...9ug+s+in/16847

as it has a 2.5G port so no need for any SFP+ modules...

But, whatever you do, you might get >1gb to the firewalla, but then not sure how you will get >1gb out, except in aggregate across several devices.
