The CM modems ports are only rated at 1Gb per port. You not see much over 900Mpbs.
You can enable LAG on the Modem however you'll need to have a router or PC that can also do LAG then you might see over 1Gb if you can sataurate both ports when LAG is enabled.
Review the user manual for information about LAG.

I read this modem was rated up to 2gps.
What model do you recommend then?
Now about the LAG. ....
Attached is a screenshot of my router. Will this have LAG capability?

Rated if LAG is enabled.
WIth out LAG, the CM2000 series as a 2.5Gb WAN port.
Something to ask the mfr of that router about and review there support documentation about. It does have a 2.5Gb port so might be better suited for a CM2000 series modem.
