Link Aggregation on CM1200 to Compatible Switch to Wifi Router
I've been researching and can't figure out what switch to use for link aggregation on this modem, then I connect my wifi router and get better speed. Comcast 1gig with the current setup is only 460mb...
Additional info: Testing: modem to pc 800-900mbps. Modem to EA9300 Linksys is 440mbps with wired connection to pc for speed test.
I do have a lot of stuff on wifi; around 20 devices. Would a switch help with wifi speed?
Laptops, three phones, two tablets, hue and the lights (10 lights), pc (ethernet), two xbox1, a ps4, two apple TVs, and two myclouds. I'm sure i have too many devices for the wifi to reach 800mbps with all ethernet ports plugged in.

Perhaps that's because your question makes no sense? How would
putting a network switch between your modem and your router help in any
way?

I don't see how.

I'm not even close to sure of that. Why not run the experiment, and
find out, instead of just being "sure"?
What kind of wireless speed do you see? Blame assignment is job one.
Why blame the router, instead of the (unspecified) client device? Can
you get a faster connection with that device and any other router?
