This model router and most all RAX series routers sans RAX 120 and 200, will not support any ISP speed past 1Gb. The WAN/LAN ports is maxed at 1Gb so most you'll ever see on the wire is around 900Mpbs. Wireless anywhere from 300 to maybe 700Mpbs max on 5Ghz AX.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you need to see speeds past 1Gb, RAX120,200, RAXE500 or NGs new wireless7 RS series all have 2.5Gb or higher speed WAN/LAN ports.&nbsp;

The RAX70 Product Data Sheet appears to suggest that it supports port aggregation on both the WAN and LAN ports:

From the User Manual:

From page 30:

It would help to know the model number of the modem to see how the WAN port and LAN port 4 should be connected to support port aggregation.

p.s. I just now realized that the User Manual appears to give conflicting instructions.&nbsp; "use port 1" vs. "use port 4".&nbsp; puzzling.
