CM1200 to Rax200 WAN aggregation slows down (requires reboot)
I have a CM1200 modem and RAX200 Router with WAN agreggation (2Gig). My internet speeds slow down to 25Mb after approx 24 hours. Rebooting the router fixes the issue for another 24 hours and then the...
Apparently the problem is with the present modem firmware. There is a separate stream in the Netgear community that explains that an upgrade and fix is (probably) out there, but these upgrades are given to the ISPs (Comcast) to be pushed to your modem. For reasons not clear, that step hasn't happened.
Additonally, the concensus now is that if your download speed is less than 1Gbs, there is really no advantage to using WAN aggregation, so it may well be that because typical packages from Xfinity (comcast) are far short of that speed, they are holding back until they more routinely offer faster packages. Beats me.
It is not the CM1200. I went through all the newer WiFI6 routers, Asus's & Netgears then switched to Asus RT-AX88U (AX6000) & WAN aggregation has been running on gigabit Xfinity 7 weeks now.... set it & forget it!!!
