I have invested over 30hrs of my time chasing my tail with Netgear support and nothing has improved. Just more questions. I can’t keep wasting my time.

I see no suggestion that you have tried starting your own discussion on this hardware. Jumping on at the end of a running conversation may mean that your issue gets lost. (It also diverts people from trying to help AmazingAbe.)
We don't even know if aggregation, the subject of this discussion, is the problem that you are trying to fix.
You can reduce the time you waste, yours and others, by beginning with your own conversation. That could be quicker than dealing with Netgear support. But first you will have to explain what is going on with your RAX40. This isn't even the same hardware as the RAX120.

The AX4 does neither support LAN port aggregation (two designated 1 Gb Ethernet LAN ports to a static or 802.3d LACP dynamic LAG) nor WAN port aggregation (the WAN/Internet 1 Gb Ethernet port plus another designated 1 Gb Ethernet LAN port to a 802.3d LACP dynamic LAG. Therefore, ways off the subject.

BTW, anybody can suggest me any NETGEAR product that does what I need? Two separate lines from my ISP that I can join through another device... Thanks.

Don't think Netgear has any Broadband Load Balancing or Broadband Channel Bonding offerings.

Talk to your ISP first - they might have offerings making two or more broadband links into a true single Internet connection - unless you are behind a pure low cost load balance approach.
