it doesn't, at least not wired. LAN ports on all NG routers are at most 1 Gbps. There are switches but they're rather expensive. Still, if your router is maxing out at 1 Gbps per port, there's little sense in buying a multi-Gbps switch

Re: connecting 2 5g routers into 1 switch or router to get doubel speed
Combining 2 (different) ISPs? Very hard to do on NETGEAR routers, if at all. Link aggregation works only with one connection - it's difficult to maintain multiple connections, at least my experience tells me while using it on ASUS routers. Even if you managed to do it, you'll still be limited by the 1 Gbps LAN ports of the router.
You should look into commercial routers instead of consumer ones.. They may be more costly, but may provide what you're looking for. Check out Ubiquiti, Mikrotik and Cisco. These combined with (multiple) WiFi access points may do the job. (it may require a lot of configuration and fine tuning to make it optimal, though. it's not a "click, click, click solution")

There are routers that support WAN load balancing/failover.
Netgear has some but they're business class equipment.
The rare consumer router supports it. You'd be looking for dual wan capable routers with failover/load balancing.
