WAN Link Aggregation - CM2000 -> Netgear Managed Switch -> 750 Series Orbi Router
Is it possible to connect a Nighthawk CM2000 to a Netgear GS308T Managed Switch and then use Link Aggregation on two switch ports to connect my modem to a Orbi 750 Series Router's two ports (Wan + Li...
Thank you for your reply. Well darn. I don’t really want to spend money on something that might have a chance of not working. Does anyone have any suggestions that would be my least expensive route of accomplishing getting my full 1200 mbit connection to my router. So far I only see one. Buy a modem that supports Wan Link Aggregation. The only problem with that is I don’t see any modem that Netgear sells that supports this. I’m open to all ideas.
Just my "two cents", but it appears that the industry has moved on from Link Aggregation as a method of exceeding a one gigabit link. The modem industry got ahead of the Ethernet switch builders and Link Aggregation was the only practical method for getting a higher transfer rate. A number of higher end NAS units supported it. (still do?)
The good news is that this would not be a total fork lift upgrade. The existing RBS750 satellites are compatible with the RBR850 router, so the only purchase required would be an RBR850.

I see them on eBay for under $150. That would connect directly to the CM2000.
