CM1200 slows down after 24-48 hours of uptime when using link aggregation
If I hook up my CM1200 to my router (an Asus RT-AX88U) in Link Aggregation mode, it seems to be consistenly slow down to only around 66-ish% of the full connection speed after somewhere between 24 an...
Well, after two support tickets (since both my switch and modem are/were under warranty and had online and email support still) and getting bounced around, I lost faith in trying to solve the issue with NETGEAR. And honestly, that's your only hope since you can't fetch the firmware binary blobs yourself and even if you could AND had the means to unpack them, there's no way to load the image onto the device yourself if you or someone else was able to figure out what the issue is. As far as the OS on the device, it is certainly only conjecture at this point, but if it indeed is Linux I'm not sure what permutation of hardware configuration would lead them to develop their own LACP driver, even on a non-x86/x86_64 architecture like ARM/AARCH64/MIPS/etc.
To be honest, the only reason I'm still replying to this thread is that I'm salty that nobody at NETGEAR has even acknowledged that this is clearly an issue with an advertised feature and I'm hoping that keeping the thread alive will get it noticed. (Which would definitely help you if you're staying on the CM1200 bandwagon.)

You know this thread is pretty funny. I gave my suggestion and what to do to get the situation fixed and nobody has yet to reach out and try mine solution. I've done it my ship works I get one gig download speed constant no problems ask in no issues or resetting every 12 hours or every day. Quit thinkin it's your modem and router and try the simple fix I did simple enough
CGASTON: The simple fix of calling Comcast and yelling at them for no reason? You've yet to provide at least a screenshot showing the uptime of >48 hours, the firmware version is what everyone else is on, and showing that LACP is indeed active. It's not even clear what Comcast actually did for you. With multiple ISPs across multiple locations at play, I'm not sure why you're so quick to blame the ISP and not hold NETGEAR accountable. Trust me, I would have liked to have actually fixed the issue myself rather than swap hardware, which resolved my issue finally.

If I had something to point to and yell about I would do that but calling and saying "Bump my speed peasant" doesn't seem like the solution that you make it out to be.
- Did they change the firmware?
- Change the provisioning file?
- What did they actually do?
Details are important and words have meaning. Both of which are what would allow others to follow what you laid out.

I encourage you to do more research on the subject before contributing further with useless information.
What does the wrong and right frequency look like?
