Looking for wired router compatible with CM1000 link aggregation

I have a CM1000 cable modem.  It has two gigabit ports that can be used together via link aggregation.  I'm looking for a reasonably priced wired router that supports the protocol.  The router will be the networks DHCP server.  I do not need VPN.   Any suggestions?

    Ubiquity Edge Router X is a wired only router. Any router will work.

    The CM1000 doesn't have 2x ports. Only 1. 

    The CM1100 does have dual and supports link aggregation

      Sorry, yes.  it's a CM1100.  I'm looking for a wired router to use the link aggregation with it. I want the wired router to be my DHCP server for the rest of the network.  Any suggestions?

        Whats you're budget? My reasonalbe might be a bit different than yours. 

        Also, there's options like FURRYe38 suggested going with the Edge RouterX for just a hardwired router and using your current device (if you have one) for access point (wireless). Sometimes a cheaper option. 

        by looking at the "supported models" for setting up wan port aggregation, it can give you an idea of what routers support it.
