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 CA...

    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.

I am waiting for my MS305 multi 2.5G ports unmanaged switch to arrive today. I was told I can connect one aggregation port on the CM3000 modem to the MS305 switch and the other modem aggregation port to my RS700S router aggregation port and it will allow my 1.2G internet speed from my ISP to pass thru the switch to my two desktops. In this setup, it would leave me two ports on the switch for other uses.  I hope this is the correct setup because I have two more laptops I want to connect to the MS305 switch. Does this sound correct to you?

Thanks, Matt

No. 

There has to be router in between the CM3000 and the switch. If you enable LAG on the CM and RS, you would connect the 10Gb internet port and Port 4 from the RS to Port1 and 2 on the CM modem. 

Review the PDF here:

Then if you want to see 1.2Gb out the LAN ports of the RS, connect up a muili-gig switch to the 10Gb LAN port on the RS. Connect your ethernet connected PCs to this switch.
