Netgear Nighthawk AC 2100 Link Aggregation supported?

How do I tell if my router supports Link aggregation? I have a 3ish year old Nighthawk AC 2100 and would like to utilize link aggregation via my Netgear CM1100 cable modem. Does my router support this?

 

Thanks,

@microchip8 is correct. It doesn't support link aggregation. 

do you pay for speeds over 1 gigabit? If you don't, I wouldn't worry about it. 

If you do, are the devices needing that speed hardwired in? Because wireless isn't going to max out gigabit. 

I didn't notice a single change when my isp when gigabit to 1.2 gig and I have a fairly extensive setup for running it.

Thank you for the info. The only device that I have hardwired in that could take advantage of gig+ speeds would be my pc but I would need to install a new network card. I just figured if my router supported link aggregation it might be worth it. No big deal. At this point I'll wait until I decide to make the move to a wifi 6 router. In the meantime if it ain't broke...

 

Thanks,
