No LAN port aggregation activation between CM3000 and RS700S
I tried to set up the LAN port aggregation between my CM3000 modem and RS700S router. I connected the two aggregation ports of the CM3000 to the aggregation ports 1 and 2 on my RS700S router using CAT8 cables. I selected the LACP on the router and modem. I have even tried just one CAT8 ethernet cable. I have the latest firmware. But I cannot get my router to activate the LAN aggregation. What am I missing or doing wrong?
Also, I am getting faster speed from my RS700S on Wifi than I am on wired connections. How do I correct that?
Thanks, Matt
1. Why are you using lan port aggregation? Use the 10 gig wan port on the router and the 2.5gig port on the cm3000. You'll have better throughput and less issues with stability/latency/ping
2. the RS700 has 2x 10gig ports. 1 for the wan side, and one for device side. The other ports are 1gig. If you're only connected to a 1 gig line, you'll max out at gigabit speeds and not multigig. Thats how the wifi can hit faster speeds than the wired devices.

Thank you for your advice. I have xfinity 1.2Gbps internet plan. When I connect my desktop to the 10G port on the router, I get more than 1.2G speed.
If I connected a netgear ethernet switch with 2.5G ports to the 10G port and connected my three PCs to the switch, shouldn't I get similar speeds on all my PCs? If so, which switch would you suggest? It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive since I am only connecting my three PCs. Thanks, Matt

If so, which switch would you suggest?---I've only used 1. A cheap unmanaged trendnet TEG-S380. You can pick them up renewed for pretty darned cheap for an 8 port multigig switch. Its worked fine for me. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive since I am only connecting my three PCs. Thanks, Matt
Thank you for your advice. I will get an unmanaged switch with multiple 2.5g ports and connect it to the 10G LAN port. Then connect all three PCs to the switch. My Asus ROG Stryx GL703GM is the weakest but is capable of 1.7Gbps. This should work for me.
This RS700 is fast. Can't wait to get fiber optic ISP in September.
In my RS700S router, the Ethernet Settings, It says the Ethernet Prot Aggregation Status is : INACTIVE.
How do you make it ACTIVE ?
