MB8600 (with link agg) & X10 R9000 (with link agg), Asrock motherboard with 2 Intel R Pro LAN ports
So I have the
Motorola MB8600 Docsis 3.1 with 4 ethernet ports for link agg R9000 X10 obviously with link agg support and an Asrock Z270 Gaming K6 motherboard -- with 2 Intel(R) Pro NICs ISP - Comcast Gigabit
Can I use ..... link agg / NIC teaming / bonding to get the most efficient connection?
There has to be something special I can do with this equipment to hit full gig speed.

Is your Internet service faster than 1 Gig? If not, then there's no point using link aggregation on the modem. Besides, the R9000 doesn't support link aggregation to the WAN.
You could connect both of the ASRock's Ethernet ports to the R9000 and bond them together, but it's really only going to be used when communicating with two other computers on the LAN. Moreover, you will need to use Linux or Windows Home Server to use link aggregation. Neither Windows Home nor Pro support link aggregation (Microsoft calls it NIC Teaming).
