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...
In my heart I believe Netgear will fix this. Maybe by posting nice things they will prioritize this.
As we all know Netgear could have fixed the issue with a firmware update to the cable modem. I think it is possible that they used the fix that the community has found. The fix is their cable modem will disconnect and connect base a a trigger, which is the same as somebody has found that works. Hence it is the same as disconnecting and connecting! It would surprise me!
I'm having the same issue, except I have an SB8200 modem.
I just purchased the RAX200 and have configured it for link aggregation with the SB8200. When running properly I achieve download speeds of 1.2 Gigs. Every 24 hours or so the download speeds go to 3 or 4 Megs. If I unplug one of the ethernet cables the speed goes back to 950 Megs or so. I can then plug in the cable I had disconnected and get back to the 1.2 Gig speeds.
The RAX200 is showing that more than 4 Billion packets have been receiveed in 24 hours but very few packets have been transmitted.

The issue isn't just with the RAX200. its also with the arris sb8200. I have that some modem and it had issues with link aggregation as well. I was comparing the cm1100 to the sb8200 using both a netgear RAX200 and an arris AX11000 and the sb8200 wasn't at at stable with link aggregation on either device.
Interesting. I've read that the CM1200 uses a broadcom chipset as well? So perhaps that is the culprit? Have you found any any combination of router and modem that has stable Wan link aggregation?
