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.
Gives you options from high end AC devices, to the AX or BE devices. So a spread of generations
