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.
ER-X Quick Start Guide
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.
Though the quick start guide may not show LAG and LAG is more of an advanced feature, you might ask Ubiquity support about official LAG support on the ERX router or any of there other wired only routers. I can check my ERX out again as I've not had it online in a long while. I could have sworn it supported LAG.
As for NG routers, I've tested the CM1100 with a R7960P and a Orbi 850 series system that both support WAN LAG and works well. One could find a R7960P or of the following models mentioned by plemans
RAX120
RAX200
RAX75
RAX80
R7900P
R8000P
New or used or refurb'd, and install one of these and disable the WiFi radios on the router and make one of these model router a WAN LAG supporting router connected to the CM1100.
I've found good used or refurb'd routers on places like amazon or shopgoodwill for cheap.
