    Interesting.  I followed your procedure and here is the result:

     

    Netgear CM1200 LAN1 to RT2600ac WAN good connection. <<current connection>>

    Netgear LAN2 to RT LAN1 no connection. <<current connection>>

     

    Basically everything reversed. 

    You are right about aggregation on the Synology.  Probably looking at getting a new router.

    Thanks!

Try this. 

Factory reset both the CM1200 and the synology.

Boot up the CM1200 with nothing connected. Give it a few minutes to fully boot.

then plug port 1 from cm1200 into the wan 1 port on synology.

Then boot it up and factory install it.

 

You said the cm1200 worked when your computer was directly connected. Thats a good sign. 

Are you able to access the synology? 

Not an expert with their devices which is why I'd recommend a factory reset to ensure no prior settings are causing issues.
