Netgear has a large offering for 10G/MultiGig switches in various port combinations, with or without PoE/PoE+/PoE++ -> https://www.netgear.com/business/wired/switches/multi-gig/
When it comes to any kind of USB MultiGig devices Thunderbolt 2/3/4 docking stations, several vendors don't fully support WoL from any random power level. The complete chain needs the related software/firmware/driver support. Some vendors exclude Windows 11 support because of the chipset makers and driver developers are note ready, too. Keep in mind a 10G Thunderbolt or MultiGig USB-C is much more than just yet another direct connected network adapter.
Link aggregation does not magically multiply the network by the number of links for any situation. Typically, dedicated MAC addresses are in the play on the individual network adapters an links. Link aggregation is a good advise to have enough bandwidth for multiple devices. often the possible speed from one device will be limited to the link speed of an individual LAG member.
Nothing of this is Netgear related or specific btw.
