CM1100
So we have Astound (RCN) 1GB service, Modem says on their end can do 1.3gb. I have modem and my router (Asus RT-AX86S) in Wan Link aggregation. When I look up CM1100 via Netgear site, says modem is...

So seems like the CM and your router is setup for LAG and is working.
Only item that you be limited by is the LAN ports on your router, those being all 1Gb max supporting so you'll not see anything much past 900Mpbs as far as speed testing:
RT-AX86S:
RJ45 for 10/100/1000 BaseT for WAN x 1
RJ45 for 10/100/1000 BaseT for LAN x 4
Five (5) 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports
-- LAN: 4xGbE (2x port aggregation LAN)
-- WAN: 1 GbE
-- Multi-Gig: Ability to aggregate two Gigabit LAN ports and two Gigabit WAN ports (configurable) concurrently.
To get past this limitation, you'll need a different router that supports multi gig WAN AND LAN Ports beyond 1Gb.
You may see over 1Gb if you have some wireless devices that support 4x4 MIMO thru this router.
