CM1200 Internet Speed Problem
Hello fourm, I recently purchased a Nighthawk CM1200 Modem and a Nighthawk R6700 Router. The router was the first to arrive in the mail and I decided to set it up with my previous router. All was goo...
I just got off of the phone with support about my new CM1200 connected to a RAX80 router and was told that the additional ports on the CM1200 are useless and cannot be used if port aggregation is used, plus if you do not have multi-gig web service that the port aggregation will not work and that it is acting properly in choking off the internet speed because it is cheating to try to get a higher speed than for what you paid.
So Netgear WAN aggregation from router to modem is useless.
As mentioned before, the CM1200 has multiple ports for Link Aggregation and ISP specific IP address asignments. The only couple of routers that support LAG on there WANs is the NG R7960P and R8000P. All other routers only support 1 port connection with the CM1200 with Port #1.
Good Luck.
