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 b...
plemans My original question apparently wasn't worded very well.
The CM1100 offers link aggregation. I'm trying to use this feature to get a faster WAN pipe between the cable modem and a non-wifi router. (That's what I meant by a wired router.) By reasonable, I'm thinking around $100.
FURRYe38 I'm looking through the Ubiquity manual, and I don't see where it supports link aggregation.

So far, the only routers that I've read about, that support this are Wireless routers. My wireless AP is not close to where I have the cable modem, switches and the rest, so making it the main router would involve a lot of cabling.
thats a bit of a challenge to get a router that supports dual wan (port aggregation) for under $100.
Its possible but usually you either have to get an older device, a non-wireless one (see edge routerX), or get extremely lucky.
The link I posted prior has "applied to devices". that shows the routers that netgear has the support wan port aggregation
plemans I am looking for a non-Wireless router. For the link you posted, all the "applies to devices" are Wireless routers. As far as I can tell, Netgear doesn't have any non-Wireless routers that support link aggregation for the WAN side of things.
I looked at the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X, and it doesn't appear to support it either.I'll try other resources to get my answer. Thanks for the replies.
You might do a bit more digging to check LACP support on Ubiquiti Edge Routers:

I'm sure there are other resources mentioning LACP on there routers.
