Activate 2nd port on SB8200 for WAN aggregation (LACP)

I see there are two ports on the SB8200, but don't see how to activate it and enable LACP on the modem.  My router is capable and I have my plan upgraded to 2g service so want to take advantage of that.  I saw a previous post with a link to "https://forums.xfinity.com/direct-messaging", but that link just brings me back to the forum start page.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

If you have the Next Gen upload speeds of 100 or 200 up with your subscription that modem is not compatible, even with LAG enabled. These are the only retail / third party modems that are;

Thanks for the info.  I don't have the next gen upload speeds.  Only 20 to 40 meg.  Just trying to LACP the interfaces to increase the download speed.

Needed to log into the modem by direct connection to a laptop.  Working now.  Thanks for the pointers.

Welcome! If you get a chance, could you post the speeds you are getting with the LACP configuration? Comcast doesn't support it (they rate the SB8200 for use with plan speeds "up to 957 Mbps") and I'm curious how this worked out for you.

@BruceW​ - https://testmy.net/db/FZpScKF2i will take you to the results.  I don't have anything showing before the LACP.  Future plans are to upgrade the modem and my router so I have a single 2.5G interface between the two.  Will see what the results are after that.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for posting your results, and good luck!
