setting up internet port aggregation

[Briansf]

Been thinking about setting up my rax80 router and my cm1200 modem for multi gig. Do I need to setup ethernet port aggregation before internet port aggregation? I'm a little comfused on the issue. Also would it make any difference to do the setup because my service is 1.2G?

Do you pay for 1.2gig service? 
If not, I'd follow @microchip8 advice and leave it. 

If you do, then what I've done prior is this. 

have the browser open with a tab for both the modem and one for the router. 

then I enable it in the modem. While its rebooting, I then enable it in the router and connect the 2x ethenet connections between the router/modem. 

Usually works. Every once in a while when I do it, i have to power off the modem and router for 2 minutes, then power them back on (modem first, give it a couple minutes, then turn on the router). I haven't had any issues doing it this way.

For 1.2 Gbps I wouldn't bother
