CM1100 and Link Aggregation

Hello, 

 

  Needing some help with trying to set up Link aggregation for my Netgear system. Recently purchased the Nighthawk AX6 AX4300 Wifi6 router at Costo because our slightly older Nighthawk 7900P wasn't cut it anymore w/ all the wifi needs and cutting out at random times. Trying to set up the link aggregation for my Netgear CM1100 modem with our new router and hoping that it'll help with our wifi needs and improve coverage with fewer dropped connections. Not a lot of great articles to follow for a non technical person. Simple instructions would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

  • Are you paying for >1 gig speeds?

    If you're not, I'd proably just skip link aggregation. Its a nice feature and worth it if you have >1gig speeds but otherwise, its isn't much benefit and only adds complexity. 

    that's just my experience from using link aggregation. Its been a headache and not just isolated to netgear.
