CAX80 Support for Static LAG

Will support be added to the Nighthawk CAX80? In the user manual on page 60 it mentions the options of LACP and Static but I only have the options for Enable (LACP-IEEE 802.3ad) or Disable, there is no Static option.

 

I'm trying to set this up with the Nighthawk S8000 switch which doesn't support LACP.

    I have and use CAX80 -- It has Mult-Gig port which if have 10G (or mult-gig switch) elimates the need for LAG -- It has area in Advanced Setup for Ethernet Port Aggregation, LACP-IEEE 802.3ad (which is Dynamic link aggregation standard). Another method is since the port is mult-gig on CAX80, it will connect to full duplex gigabit switch then passing on speeds beyond 940Mb/s (I get 1,208 Mb/s normally).
